Steampunk Nippers at The Octopode Factory

Good morning (well, it's morning here anyway!) - I do hope you are all happy and well ?  We are still having very warm weather here in Central NJ but not half as hot as it has been!!  Such a contrast to the awful weather that so much of the UK is having :(  Let's hope it clears up before the Olympics begin....................................

Anyway, today I'm showcasing a couple of cards that I put together using two of the Steampunk digis from the fabulous Octopode Factory.  I do like the whole steampunk idea and it doesn't seem to be losing its popularity yet! I used 'Steampunk Nipper Winston' for this first card and kept it simple with some world map backing paper and adhesive chipboard letters for the sentiment, adding some black photo corners for the finishing touch.

For the second card, I used the digi, 'Steampunk Little Miss Posy' and I merged it onto a background using my own number background digi, available from Can You Digi It.  I also printed a sentiment over the top of that and mounted it onto some stamped kraft card, with a couple of chipboard 'X's' as embellishments.

I would like to enter Steampunk Nipper Winston into the following challenges-
