For a complete step by step I will refer you to the master over here as I followed the steps fairly closely. My focal image, stamped on black cardstock, is an image by Katzelkraft, or rather a very small portion, and represents a helicoidal clock, which I thought could be suitable for a Steampunk vibe.
I tried to make it stand out a bit more by popping up the spiral with increasing heights of foam pads but not enough to show in the picture.
To emboss the tag I used a Docrafts Plaid embossing folder, as on metal I thought it looked industrial.
I replaced the metal embellishment by an embossed word on the same black cardstock as I felt I needed that extra contrast of stark white against black with the rest of the tag being so grey! (Yes I know it looks blue in the photo.... the weather is just not cooperative and the natural light is hard to come by)
Thanks for coming by,
