Crash Landings and Lasers

The Lady Commander of Copics and I were just about to set out on our evening campaign to the Sunken Desert when we ran into an unexpected hangup. We had just finished saddling the horses and were about to depart the Guild Hall grounds when a massive hot air balloon descended from the sky. It crashed in a cloud of smoke right in the middle of the front lawn. A woman wearing a tophat with a pink sash hopped out and looked around. Seemingly just spotting my sister and I, she removed her large goggles and strode towards us.

“Where is this?” she demanded.

“I...I’m sorry?” I stammered, not understanding her question.

“Where. Am. I?” she repeated, emphasizing each word. Before I could open my mouth to answer she drew her weapon - a silver plated laser gun.

I designed this card for Creative Card Crew’s “punches & dies” challenge that is happening now! This fortnight we are sponsored by Delicious Doodles who is offering the winner 4 digis!

 

I used the Steampunk Sally image and coloured her up with Prismacolors. I got so carried away colouring her hair beautifully purple, I didn’t realize that I accidentally coloured her arm as hair...whoopsies. 
After she was done, I set her aside to work on the background. I swiped some Distress Ink on my kraft sheet, sprayed it with water and mopped up the ink with some white paper. After drying it with my heat tool, I stamped the background with the cog image from the Tim Holtz “Industrial Blueprint” set. The gears and cogs I cut using my Cricut and the Robotz cartridge, then embossed them with my Cuttlebug. The sentiment and small gears I stamped using the “Get in Gear” set from There She Goes.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment using the My Pink Stamper “Birthday Crazy” set and the Mark’s Finest Paper “Celebrate Big” set. I added some gears from the Unity “Nuts and Bolts” set and a stamp from the Dylusions "Further Around the Edge" set.

I stamped the same gears and border stamp on the envelope to make it all matchy-match, earning me +45 coordination exp points.

“You really don’t want to do that,” I said slowly.

“And why is that, friend? Those are some fine looking animals and I can clearly use some alternate transportation,” she said gesturing to her ruined balloon.

In answer an arrow whistled through the still night air, striking the woman in the hand that held her weapon. Crying out in pain, she was forced to drop her gun and grasped her bleeding hand trying to remove the arrow. In one fluid movement I dismounted Ruffles and had my sword drawn and at the miscreant’s throat. The Guardian of Glitter emerged from the shadows, notching another arrow, aiming at the purple-haired lady.

“I did try to warn you, friend,” I sneered, gesturing with my blade for her to stand, while kicking aside her laser gun. The Lady Commander of Copics bound the strange woman and we lead her to the dungeons to await a trial by the king's jury.
