Steampunk Valentine Chunky ATC

My latest take on the chunky ATC theme - this time a steampunk valentine. Now, I love steampunk but I really do struggle to do it. I hope I've sort of captured it. Here's the front, chip[board heart and wings, cogs and wach bits. I did want to make this move, so that when you turned the cogs the wings flapped, but it didn't work out. I'm going to have another go at that with thinner cogs.


This is the other side, where I transfer printed a free vintage image and added a watch mechanism plus some other bits. I was aiming for a sort of etched copper look and it's close enough to make me happy.


The top's a bit overloaded!


The sides are just covered with some cog and wheel die cuts and I didn't get a picture of those, but hopefully you get the idea and thanks for looking.
