Don't let the theme scare you off. It is so much fun working with this medium. I had a blast making my postcard for my partner.

Oh yes! Michael's has a really nice section in the jewelry section also. And, if any of you know of the online party store " Oriental Trading Company", you can buy steam punk embellishments there also. But, the coupons at Hobby Lobby, Michael's and JoAnns are just as good a deal. I found I really Iike this art medium when I was researching the theme. It was really fun.
