Steampunk Birthday

 This card was made for one of my co-workers.  As most of you know I make personalized birthday cards for all of my co-workers.  I send out an email a month or two before their birthday month asking what they want to see on their card this year.  This one said "I love the colors purple and black. I absolutely love all dogs. Pugs and Bulldogs, and Mastiffs I’m a little partial to, but dogs. Love them all. I love crows and skulls. And the girl inside me still loves unicorns. I guess I really love animals in general. My mom always has said, I would have a farm full of different animals if I could. Which is very true. I would rescue any animal that needed a loving home no matter their size, but I live in a subdivision that has a HOA and rules. If you need some more ideas I love the beach, I really like steampunk, and I’m a 90’s teen all the way and loved MTV, punk rock, metal, and skateboards."  I went with the steampunk/bulldog idea and created this card.

I threw on a bunch of gears/cogs/clocks, some pearls, gold thread and gold pearls from my stash of crafty goodies.  The bulldog is from Kenny K - so it's retired.  The sentiment is from CTMH, also retired.
