Run out of Steam!!

Well, I must admit, Steam Punk is a bit of a challenge for me!
...but I bought some Tim Holtz alterations at the Ally pally show earlier this year,
So I was quite looking forward to having an attempt at this one!
This is my 'steampunk' Arch
for the
Gothic Arch Challenge #10

The background is stamped with
'Paperartsy - Clocks 5' stamp
Distressed with inks
Added this fab free image that I found on flickr
(Sorry I can't remember where I got it from, so if it's yours,
please let me know, so that I can give you credit for it!!)
.....added some Tim Holtz 'sprocket gears (using two of the alterations as wheels) and ball chain'.
Then added some words/saying.
I put some Glossy accents over the face of the image (inside one of the gears)
...and voila - My attempt at steam-punk!!
The next to challenges are #11 - Paint and #12 - fabric
looking forward to these two!!
Thanks for looking!
