So what is Steampunk you ask? "In three short words, steampunk is Victorian science fiction. Historically, this period saw the development of many key aspects of the modern world (mechanized manufacturing, extensive urbanization, telecommunications, office life and mass-transit), and steampunk uses this existing technology and structure to imagine an even more advanced 19th century, often complete with Victorian-inspired wonders like steam-powered aircraft and mechanical computers." by Tor.com.
Here are 6 ATC(Artist Trading Cards) that I put together for Artchixs Steampunk ATC Swap. The background is from a 1940s vintage book titled Boiler Feeding and Flue-Gas Analysis and no, I don't know what that means. I scanned it and then it printed up in funky vintage colors because my printer was running out of ink, so I kept it and just worked with it. The other images used are from Artchix Studio. I also added German scrap and old watch parts and gears.These vintage hues also make it possible to submit it for a Vintage Hue challenge from Gingersnaps Creation (GC#80). So it looks like I have a "two for one" with this weeks creation. LOL.
