Steampunk Rio

Happy Friday!!!!!!  I'm so ready for this week to be over and have a nice beautiful sunny weekend.  It's been cold down in the the low 30's every night and then gray and rainy every day.  I don't like to complain about the rain because we usually really need it, but this is South Texas after all!  Oh well, soon Summer will be here and I'll complain about the heat.

Today I have a little bit of a different card.  It's "Steampunk."  I've seen the name and cards like it around, but have never tried one myself.  I joined a group on FB and the owner is a fabulous artist who draws her own images and this is one that she did.  There is a challenge for the group to make a card using this image in the steampunk technique.  As I said, I'm pretty new to steampunk, so I didn't have a lot of accessories to add to my card, but I did the best with what I had.  If you don't know what it is, click on the link above to read about it.  Here's an excerpt:  Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that typically features steam-powered machinery,^[1] especially in a setting inspired by industrialized Western civilization during the 19th century. Therefore, steampunk works are often set in an alternative history of the 19th century's British Victorian era or American "Wild West", in a post-apocalyptic future during which steam power has regained mainstream use, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power.

Here is my card --
