Steampunk at C4E

Hi everyone

Today is the start of another new challenge week at Crafts4eternity and our theme for this week is

"STEAMPUNK"

I haven't made anything steampunky for ages so I have really enjoyed making this card and used loads of Vintage Photo distress ink and plenty of stamping.

I started by stenciling my own background using vintage photo and weathered wood through Peerless Designs clock mask. I then stamped onto the background using a cogs stamp again using vintage photo so it would be quite light.

 

Then a lot of stamping, with Archival Potting Shed ink, and cutting out. The dragonflies I then coloured with weathered wood and adhered the clock charms which fitted perfectly.

 

 

The punky flowers stamped in the same colour, coloured with vintage photo and then the bulbs bleached out with water and then covered in Tim's Crackle Paint - rock candy. once dry I cover with a layer of multi medium to stop bits of it falling off.

I know I might be a bit behind the trend but I have just bought some rusting powder which is such fun and am rusting everything, I rusted some manilla cardstock then sanded it, cut out my cogs with Tims alterations die and coloured with weathered wood I really like the combination.

 

I also recently bought from my local craft shop the barbed wire die by Cherry Lynn which I cut from grey card and gave the rust treatment.

Stamps I used:-

Chocolate Baroque - Punky flowers

Inky Doodles - time Flies

Andy Skinner - Letting off steam (Sentiment)
