Steampunkish playing card

I always see the fun steampunk challenges over at sandee and amalies challenge and think wow, that'd be fun to try!
So today I did!
Plus I used my favorite stamp pad: distress ink peacock feathers!
The challenge is altered playing card. 
I have a really cool deck that I picked up a while back. It's all sorta Wild West, but some of the images like this one are sorta steampunkish. I gesso'd around the edges, and the used my distress pad and some rub and buff. I love the gold pops!
The hexagon is a little piece of aluminum tape I ran through an embossing folder and then punched out with my new hexagon punch. I stamped some images on top of the distress ink, added the world brad, the number 8, and the zipper! I sorta love it a lot! 

Entering this into:
