by Rebecca E. Parsons

WELCOME to Cre8tive Compass Magazine and Viva Las Vegastamps! Design Team Blog Hop… I imagine you hopped over from Kim’s blog… if not, YOU CAN still win BIG BIG BIG~Blog Candy~a Pound O’ Rubber from VLV….!!! See below… Isn’t this fun???

Steampunk designs are really hot, hot, hot!!! I waited a while to jump on board, but here is one of my artworks using this style…

"I'll fly away" - mixed media artwork 10" x 10"

I had so much fun creating this mixed media art. I used two Viva La Vegastamps! in the above design. (See below) I also used several pieces of ephemera from my collection. I have been collecting vintage paper items for years. I also love using rusty and found objects in my art, so steampunk is a natural progression for me.

VLV stamps has a ton of stamps for Steampunk designs…plus so much more…

Basket Descending 4 1/2 x 4 3/4  Item 9391

Pocket Watch 1 3/4 x 2  Item 5538
