Happy Thursday with Meljen's Designs!.

Good morning everyone and Happy Thursday!! It seems like all I've been doing is working! But now it is time for the new challenge at Meljen's Designs. We are on Challenge #215 with a theme of Texture (create texture on your project).  Here are my two creations:







This is using Steampunk Boy. I decoupaged the little sprocket on him and then his head is bobbled. I dry embossed the brown paper with my gears folder. I distressed the edges and inked. I colored this image with my Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I colored their hair and skin with Copic Markers. The gears are a memory Box die cut that I embossed with both Pearl Ultra Thick Embossing Enamal and Stampendous Frantage Aged Bronze Embossing Enamal. The sentiment is hand written and then the edge on that same black paper is doodled. I also doodled on the inside brown paper with the same sort of line. I added the little gear on the bottom right. That is 7 Gypsies. I added a little stitching on the brown directly behind the black strip with the sentiment. The Steampunk Goth Girl is the same card, just with the girl image instead.

•  Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11, E13
•  Girl Hair: E02, E08, E18, E19
