Gooooodly Morning Stampers and a very happy sunshiny Sunday to you all. Many thanks for the gorgeous entries for last weeks challenge. This week is a very special challenge because it is sponsored! The lovely folks at Crafty-Emblies are kindly sponsoring this weeks challenge. There is a £10 voucher to spend in their shop as the prize up for one randomly selected entrant. The theme for the challenge this week is.... STEAMPUNK. To join in and be in with a chance to win the prize is simples: make a little something, it can be anything you fancy. Add in the theme and some stamping and pop back here to leave me a comment. If you don't have a blog/photo-web-hosty-thingy, you can also enter by email and on Facebook. If you leave a comment here you will be entered - if you leave a comment AND enter the challenge, you will be in with a second chance of winning. The winner will be announced on next Sunday's post. The challenge will remain open until 21:00 Saturday 25th August 2012. Entries after this time won't be entered into the prize draw.
My entry this week has lots of the gorgeous Crafty-Emblies bits and bobs. Let me first tell you about them if you haven't seen them before: they are GORGEOUS! They are little embellies made from precision cut wood, the detailing on them is amazing and you will LOVE them all! I especially love the honeycomb piece - I used this as a mask and also as an embellishment - it is about 5" square in size, I just snipped into it to make it sized to fit my project.
The cogs are fab and whilst they are uber sturdy, I managed to snip through these too so one is cut in half. Colouring them is easy - I used Rusty Hinge DS and then a smidge of Espresso Colorwash Spray with a bit of gold embossing powder to add some shine. The leaves were coloured with Peeled Paint and Forest Moss DS too... fab or what!!!
The base of the piece is a 7" square canvas board, painted using Eco Paints - Birch, Lake and Clam Shell and a smidge of Traditional Tan paint for goodly measures. The sentiment is an Artistic Stamper image and the flowers are Prima. I added some Idea-ology and a few brass charms to the piece for a finishing touch.
To recap: the competition is open until 21:00 Saturday 25th August 2012. I will use Random.org to pick a winner. Leave a comment you will be entered: leave a comment AND enter the challenge you will be entered twice. Entries after the closing time won't be eligable for the prize draw. And the prize is £10 to spend in the Crafty-Emblies shop! That's all from me today... Thanks for looking, have a good week! TTFN

Oooh those look like fun and being wood they might take a bit more distressing than cardboard ones!!
Love your canvas, it is gorgoeus!!
Hels, what a fantastic theme. In fact the title reminds me of that song when the kids were young. I'm off to visit Crafty Emblies as I need some bits I think. Yes, I really do. Enjoy your week-end. Hugs Rita xx
Morning Hels, OMG this layout is simply STUNNING, I love it, love it, love it. I am so loving the embellishments, especially the penny farthing. Absolutely stunning. Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Hels. I love looking at your work, it is always so different. I'd also love to be good enough to enter a piece into your drawer but you might laugh.

Love waking up to a new "Hels" challenge on a Sunday morning. Today i'm loving that feeling even more, this challenge might just inspire me to get off my butt and go and make art.
This is brilliant Hels. Steampunk always gets the better of me, probably because I really like it but just can't 'do' it.
Hugs Joanne xx
Mornin' Hels. That flower is gorgeous! The embellies look great, I think I need some! Love your colour scheme too. Hope to play this week, been busy helping my shy 14 year old daughter to set up her own blog... she might play too (she's a very good crafter!)
These embellies look brilliant and thanks for the opportunity to possibly win some. Great project you've made - just love that penny farthing and of course all the other work on this
Hi Hels
Love the card, the style and yummy colours. Go girl. Brilliant. X
I love what you've made here Hels and I like the little wooden embellishments! Really going try so hard to get my done before the last minute - joke really isn't it, but I'm determined not to be last!!

Been missing from blogland and crafting for a couple of months, just catching up and enjoying looking at all your creations, heres hoping I will have a bit more time to enter the sunday stamper next week x
Love your steampunk card - but it didn't help my resolve not to buy crafting stash and I've been very naughty over at the Embellies website.
Just managed to get my card done in time have had great fun, but made a right old mess!
