Steampunk Serengeti Elephant

 My Steampunk Serengeti Blog Hop inspiration for you today is an epic bookmark featuring:

Elephant Steampunk Serengeti digi stamp

Steampunk Serengeti 3D Layered Text Panel Cutz set

 

 

I used Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber, Old Paper and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Sprays as watercolours to paint my Elephant Steampunk Serengeti digi stamp panel and metallic gel pens in copper, gold and silver to colour the stars and enhance the Steampunk elements of the design.

 

 

The Steampunk Serengeti 3D Layered Text Panel Cutz set is a bit smaller than the Xtreme Slimline Card Frame sets and I sized the Elephant Steampunk Serengeti digi stamp to fit the window frame perfectly in Silhouette Studio and then sent it to my printer from inside Silhouette Studio.

 

 

 

I then cut the Steampunk Serengeti 3D Layered Text Panel Cutz overlay from black cardstock and the matching base layer from yellow cardstock to use for the colour peeks through the cut outs as well as a base layer from heavy weight black cardstock to make the bookmark nice and sturdy.

 

I wanted lots of metallic shine so I coloured the yellow cardstock shadow layer with Crushed Papaya Nuvo glitter marker and then toned down the bright copper with a coat of Tim Holtz Distress Stain Spray in Tarnished Brass.

 

 

I then painted the separate Steampunk Serengeti text cutz with the Tarnished Brass included in the Steampunk Serengeti 3D Layered Text Panel Cutz set which I first cut from yellow cardstock.

 

 

Now it's time to settle down for the evening with a good book and a cup of tea as I travel through the Serengeti!
