Steampunk Balloon Tag
A swap is a fun exchange of items created by members of a group such as
Art for the Creative Minds yahoo group. It may be cards or ATC's 4X4 pages, junk journal. the variety of items it endless. Some swaps are one to one, a single exchange, others are multiples of the same artwork sent to a hostess, who then sorts them out and sends them to the members who are taking part in the swap. It is exciting receiving the swaps, and seeing each persons interpretation of the swap's theme
The swap was to be a faux metal Steampunk Balloon Swap. It was a one to one swap for Art for the Creative Minds yahoo group Art for the Creative Minds yahoo group. The tag it a #8 6 1/2" by 3 1/8". I covered the tag with a piece of metal looking wallpaper. I used a rubber-stamp showing a series of gears and cogs to stamp the background keeping with the steampunk theme. The picture of the lady was a RAK (Random Act of Kindness) sent to me by another member of the group. I used a balloon stamp that I purchased years ago and rubbed the design onto a piece of thin aluminium with the rubber end of a pencil. These little balloons were cut out and then attached with foam tape here and there on the tag. Fibers were added at the top.
