Gettin' Sketchy

I'm not a HUGE fan of sketches. What can I say? I like coloring outside the box and doin' ma own thang (wait, it's THINK outside the box, Torrey...not COLOR outside the box. Sheesh). But, over at Bombshell Stamps, it's time for their monthly sketch challenge by their own Kathi Rerek--it's posted on Bombshell Blog. So, I thought..."Torrey, you CAN do this." And whadya know...not only CAN I do it...but I DID do it.

Here is the sketch

Here is MY take on it...I flipped the sketch horizontally to create a mirror image of it.

Now, I know what you might be thinking..."A black, copper and gold Christmas card???
 Yep. It's true. It's the most UN-Christmasy color combination. Not only that, but it's Steampunk to boot. Why Steampunk? Well, the theme I chose this month for my stint as the Ms-December-guest-designer-pin-up-girl over at Bombshell Stamps is "Hot and Steamy--A Steampunk Challenge". Sooooo, I decided to make as many of my projects this month in a Steampunk style as I am able...except I just couldn't bring myself to punking out the gingerbread pin-up. Oh well. But isn't she GLORIOUS? I love my steamy angel! And it's hard to tell...but most of the paper used on this card is metallic (the bodice and pin-up's body/head aren't).

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
