Time for a new challenge over at SanDee&amelie's Steampunk Challenges!
This month - what else could it be - we go for a X-mas theme, but of course with a steampunk twist to it! ;)
We want you to create a new vehicle for Santa - or to pimp up his sleigh and thus create
Santa's New/Pimped Up Vehicle!
But first let me thank you all for your awesome entries to our last challenge! You rocked it again! :)
Back to Santa's vehicle - in my case Santa decided to spare his reindeer the hard labour of pulling his overloaded sleigh and switch to something more modern - a rocketship. ;)
And of course he has his reindeer with him still - only on board of the rocketship instead of pulling it. (Thanks to the new and totally silent propulsion engine he still won't be heard when flying over all the homes of children, waiting for him to come down the chimney ;).
For my tag I used a background I had treated with some dry embossing on aluminium foil (which was glued to a piece of card) first and alcohol inks afterwards. I created the stencil for my rocket's shape by folding a sheet of plain card in half and drawing only half of the shape to the front. Then I cut it out and unfolded the card - voila - a symmetrical shape of an air and space craft!
The holly leaves on the bottom are meant to be the flames bursting out of Santa's rocket. The mystletoe looks a bit like smoke... so how does this new technology work? (Of course this will be kept a secret ;).
And look - there's Rudolf sitting on Santa's lap, peeping out of the rocket's window ! Seems he enjoys his ride too (or maybe he is helping Santa with driving the new modern vehicle?) ;)
I hope you enjoy the pre-Christmas period and have fun creating a new vehicle for Santa (or simply pimp up his old sleigh to turn it into a steampunk wonder)!
Looking forward to see your creations entered soon!
Hugs and happy crafting,
Claudia x

This looks great Claudia and brought a big smile to my face! Love Santa's new pimped up vehicle, but what I really like lol is that he is still the same good old friendly Santa peeping out from his porthole, in fact he looks as if he is not totally sure of his fancy new vehicle, mind you at his age it must be quite something to adjust... Anyway, great out of the box theme and make!
ReplyDeleteFabulous, I love santa's rocket =). I wish we could all have a rocket like his!

Love the idea of Santa in a rocket! How else could he get round so quickly?! The colour of the rocket is perfect for an ornament too. Jenny x

Tee hee - what a cool challenge theme and, like Astrid, I've got a big silly grin all over my face at your adorable little deer peeping out next to Father Christmas! Love the metallic look, great idea and great inspiration.
