GDT for that Craft Place: Challenge - Anything goes

Goodly morning to you all! I've got a busy old day in blogland today - and I'm away too so this is a short - and hopefully sweet scheduled post! Today I'm sharing this post with you for That Craft Place challenge blog where I was lucky enough to get a joint GDT spot for three months. The challenge starting today is Anything goes/Christmas - I've made a steampunk inspired piece made with goodies available at  at thatcraftplace.
Here it is:



The hat came as a flat pack - its a Mad-Hatters-Top-Hat and I painted it using distress paints and stamped it with the steampunk christmas stamps from Sam Poole at Creative Expressions. I then assembled the hat and added cogs I had cut from rangers foil tape cut using spellbinders dies - I stamped the steampunk Christmas bird onto the ranger foil tape and then fussy cut it. I added the black ribbon to the piece then attached the bird and lightbulb charm and key - all from that craft place. I've also stamped a feather from the wise friend stamp set - I'll try and add a picture soon - I can't find the photo files I took at the moment. The feather is attached to the RHS of the hat.


I'd like to enter this into the following challenges.
