Steampunk Superhero

I love this superhero image from A Day for Daisies and I wanted to do something different from the classic Superman red and blue.

It’s my brother’s birthday early next month and he’s a real action man. I decided to make a birthday card for him and give it a bit of a ‘steampunk’ look.

The die cut tandem  and all the card / papers are from Hunkydory. I paper-pieced the cape and leggings and coloured him with Promarkers. The cogs are Tim Holtz.

To personalise the card, I added a G to the badge on his chest (my brother’s name initial), coloured the hair ginger (like my brother), and added the sentiment ‘To a Super Brother’, using Safmat.

I’ve been using a lot of neutrals lately...think I’d better do something bright and colourful next!

I'd like to enter this for the following challenges:
Here Come the boys Superhero
Sarah Hurley Birthday celebrations
Polkadoodle Boys or Men 
Scrappy Frogs Seeing spots
