Guest designer over at a Vintage Journey

Hi everyone! I am very proud to have been invited as a Guest designer over 

@ A Vintage Journey and this month Challenge is

"The Magic of Three" 

Here are the challenge details :

"Using Three of something adds more interest and power whether it is a conversation, art or numbers. Let us see you use three of something in your challenge project (numbers, techniques, stamps, colours, words, products - the list is endless!) 

Let us know what your magic 3 components are and ensure your project is in our vintage; shabby; mixed media; art journaling; industrial, timeworn or steampunk styles that we favour".

If you pop over to the blog I have done a full tutorial 

over on the Vintage Journey blog.

There is also more photo's of my interpretation of this months 

theme.

I hope you all like the piece that I have created and as always please feel
free to leave me your thoughts and any questions that you
may have.

SASPC Aprils challenge

Hi everyone I have for you today a piece of steampunk

art that I did for a retreat weekend at (MOM)

Ministry Of Mixology

As you all know I love my Steampunk and I love 

Deco Art products. 

So I used my Steampumpkin stamp from Stampendous

to stamp into my gold embossing powder.

 The tag was gessoed with black gesso followed by

crackle paint.

 The edges of the Tando tag were scraped with texture

Sand paste.

 Distressed harlequin stencil and modelling paste were 

used along the left hand side of the tag.

 Washes were used to age it all with burnt umber and 

Quinacridone gold really watery

The wings were made from paper clay and a mould

then painted gold and patina antiquing cream

applied and knocked back.

 Various embellishments from my stash were used to

finish off the piece.

Same stamp and technique different shaped 

heart.

I really hope you all enjoyed my tag for you today

and hope that you all have a great Easter.

Please feel free to ask any questions and

let me know what you think.

Kind regards Dee X
