Steampunk Valentine

Hello everyone, I hope all is well.  It's still dreary here and I've been fighting a wicked cold but getting better.

I have a Valentine card to show today, using a cool Steampunk heart by Chocolate Baroque.

Stamps by Chocolate Baroque:  Punky Hearts, Eccentric Edwardian (lettering). 

The Gear die cuts are by Memory Box & metal cogs are by Tim Holtz.   I used a Heart stencil by Tim Holtz with textured paste in the background.  The I Love You die was a freebie and I'm not sure who it's by.

I used Neocolour crayons and a little metallic powder in the background and 'fancy cut' the heart and popped it up.  I added glitter glue around the edges.

Steampunk Roses with Texture

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.

I have Steampunk design using mixed media which was great fun.   I didn't have a plan and was just 'going with the flow'.   

I started with a piece of mixed media cardstock.  I adhered Tim Holtz tissue wrap with Gel medium.  I coloured over top with Neocolour II crayons, sprintz with water and let it run.   I wasn't too happy with the colours and it almost went into the re-cycle bin.  However once dry I added light molding paste over the TCW Gears stencil and painted over top with Silks Acrylic glaze which allowed some colour to show through.  I also used Pearl UTEE around the edges.

I embossed the Roses from Chocolate Baroque's Steampunk Butterfly with silver on watercolour paper, painted with both Tombow markers and Acrylic glaze.  I cut the roses out and attached over the background. 

Thanks for your visit and have a fabulous day,

Steampunk with Blue & Yellow

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.  It is freezing cold here with strong winds.   It doesn't feel like Spring is going to arrive anytime soon.   But the sun is shining. 

I have a Steampunk Design today that was fun to create.

Chocolate Baroque Stamp sets:   Artistic Expressions, Steampunk Butterfly, Steampunk Christmas (gears fragment).  I also used a script stencil and Spellbinder Gear dies.

The background is Mustard Seed and Salty Ocean Distress inks blended on Mixed Media paper.  I flicked water over top to create the water marks.  When dry I blended Salty Ocean DI over the script stencil.   I flicked black Dylusions Ink using the applicator randomly (inspired by an article in the March 2014 Craftstamper Magazine).     The gear die cuts were sprayed with blue Dylusions ink and I blended black Distress Ink around the edges.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day !
