A new month means that a new challenge is upon us! For November, the new Inspiration Journal theme is
Mission Embossable! We want to see your projects incorporating embossing whether it is with paste, powder or folders. Just link up your project in the challenge post and you will be in the running to win a prize from
Inspiration Emporium. I went a little crazy with embossing folders for my project, a set of nine steampunk ATCs.
My steampunk motto is if one gear is good then two, three, four or five gears must be better! The background cards and chipboard numbers were all dry embossed and then I assembled them with all the chipboard gears. To get the faux rusty look I used DecoArt Media products and followed the technique shared by Andy Skinner in
this video. In retrospect, I think I should have added another final coat of Ultra Matte Varnish – they still seem a bit on the shiny side.

I am also going to enter this ATC set in two other challenges:
The Mixed Media Monthly
Texture Challenge and…
the SanDee&amelie's Steampunk Challenge blog's
Winter 'Anything Goes' challenge.
