Steampunked

I asked my friend Chris for some stamps I could color with copics, and she handed me the "under the big top" set, which is great for little kids' birthdays - it has good images for boys and girls, and no scary clowns.  However, I don't know any little kids who are having birthdays...

If you know me, you know I can be contrary.  Sometimes I'm playing the Devil's Advocate, and other times I'm just cranky, but I always argue, even with myself.  for example, when looking at a stamp set with a lot of stamps, I will invariably think "I could use these, but I would never use that one", and then, being the difficult person I am, I will force myself to use the one stamp in the set I really don't want to ever use.  In this case, it is the ringmaster.

With the top hat and tails, and handlebar mustache, I wondered what he could be besides a ringmaster for a circus.  Maybe he could be steampunk?

Steampunk is not my strong suit - other than gears (my poor cog punch hardly ever gets used) and a grungy palette, I don't know what would really qualify this card as steampunk, but I did achieve my goal of getting ink on the ringmaster.
