Steampunk Victoria - SSD Progressive Challenge #3

Another quick post today as I have to do a workshop today and of course I've left things till the last minute and still have things to prepare!!!
This is my third card for the Sassy Studio Designs progressive challenge celebrating 500 members over at Paper Crafting Planet. After completing challenge #2 and getting my card in on time, I got the third freebie from SSD whihc is Steampunk Victoria!! Our challenge this time was to make a Victorian or Vintage creation!! Again this was a challenge for me as I have never made  a card using either of these styles so I went to my local scrapbooking shop and told her what I needed and she pointed out two racks of paper that I could choose from them then showed me these Graphic 45 papers and I knew these would be perfect!! Well I hope they are or I'll be returning all the papers to the shop!!  LOL!!
So without further ado here is my card!!


So all the SB papers are Graphic 45 and the base CS is American Craft which I inked the edges of! I coloured Steampunk Victoria in with Tria markers and used glitter pen on the gears and buckles on her clothes! I then cropped one of the other freebies that I got from the SSD PCP page and used the gears which I coloured with silver glitter pen also!! And that is all I did... Came together just perfect but like I said hopefully it is vintage or victoria!! :)
Can't wait to see what the fourth and final freebie is! Thanks SSD for a fabulous challenge!!

So again this is for Sassy Studio Designs Progressive Challenge #3
