Steampunk ATC

Hello Steampunk fans and fans-to-be! I hosted one of these last year and it went great! A lot of participation, super-creative cards, fun! Still fascinated by this genre, I figured...let's do it again! If there is enough interest, I might do a couple this year :)

You will create 2 ATCs for one partner. Let your imagination run wild! Any technique is welcome, but lets keep it sticker-free. One thing though...No Flaking! I will be checking ratings and will have to ban folks that give me concern. Sorry about that, but yeah.

Please make sure that your cards are of standard ATC size and have a sturdy backing. Kindly include your name, the swap name/date and the title of your card.

Here is a definition of Steampunk to sort of solidify the theme for those of us who are new to it. I'm also adding a couple of links to galleries for inspiration.

Steampunk: An imaginary Victorian age England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of HG Wells and Jules Verne. It features brass and copper clockwork and steampowered inventions that go far beyond 1800′s technology. Steam powered mechanical wonders, optimistic gear driven computers, dirigibles, goggles and stuff like that.
