Well today is another break from Christmas designs as I have a mixed media piece featuring Chocolate Baroque's wonderful new Steampunk stamp sets, Steampunk Seaworld and Steampunk Funky Fish. I love the Jellyfish !
I had a lot of fun creating the background for this design. I started with Distress paints and then added a sand texture gel (Studio Acrylics) and a thin layer of crackle paste here & there. I used a little Silks mica powder over the sand texture and spritzed with water. After dry I added Krystal Gel over the sandy areas.
I stamped the images with Cobalt Archival ink and coloured with Prisma pencils. I used a metallic gold Gellyroll pen to highlight the cogs.
I used both sets which are on an introductory offer this month:

Oh Shirley you do have such fun with your stamps. Yes the jellyfish is terrific, especially after you have coloured him, and I love the deep sea cog wheels. I see he has a few friends around too. The way you have used these stamps is so imaginative.
I really love this Shirley and that texture is gorgeous and as usual your mix of colours is beautiful. Those jellyfish are adorable. x
