Steampunk ATC for Swap at StampArtForum

Here is an ATC I created for the Steampunk Swap at StampArtForum!

Close up of the ATC.    Love how the hinge tape looks on these!!!

On the group I ended up using three different styles of washers. 

(the flash washed the color out a little)

Amazing as it seems, I used 5 stamps (2 Artistic Outpost: train, and eyes, AllnightMedia: cigar label, Inkadinkadoo Collage Stamp: only inked the portion with the face of the woman and the Hand pointing Finger, maker unknown.  In addition to the stamps three inks and Steampunk Tape purchased from VivaLasVegastamps!
