Birthday card with a steampunk horse

As you can see, on my card Winifred, the zebra turned into a steampunk horse. Lately, I made many projects with steampunk animals (birds, rabbits) and I wanted to try it with another creature, so I chose Winifred to make a horse.

For making the background, I took a 300gsm watercolour paper and blended the Weathered Wood ink onto the surface. Then I chose the Circuit stencil and inked through the stencil with Black Soot Archival ink. 

After this, I blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink onto the whole surface. Then I spritzed with water. In the end, I splattered with diluted Brushed Pewter paint. The edges were inked with Black Soot Distress ink.

For the horse, I didn't use all the elements of Winifred. But some of her parts were embossed with the Riveted Metal texture fades. I also added some gears from the Gearhead Thinlits die set.
