Tic Tac Toe Over at SASPC

Words/Stencils/The Sea and a few more see the bottom of this post for the 

details and the link. I started this off by playing with

Bistre god I love this stuff!! a pressi from my son.

Once I had activated the Bistre with water, I  used Deco Art media line 

white crackle paint.

Washes with Phthalo Tourquoise and Quinacridone Gold

& Deco art Ultra-Matt Varnish to seal.

Tripple embossed the fish (Paper artsy mini's) with pewter embossing 

powder the a couple of washes with Deco Arts fluid acrylics

 Quinacridone Gold & Phthalo Turquoise.

Deco Art media crackle paste around the edges.

The circles were done with Finnabair 3D gloss gel and her bubbles stencils,

 little watch parts were dropped into some of the circles before they dried.

The steampunk sign was done using a lolly stick and a garden plant

label. The stamp used is an art journey stamp.

I am not sure if you can see the crackle paint here in-between the bubbles.

Fran-tage embossing powder was sprinkled across and 

heat set from underneath.

The white bubbles is a lost coast stamp and I embossed that in

 white embossing powder. and highlighted the bubbles with

Deco art's liquid glass.

That's it folk's I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I have making it.

The Ravages of Time

Hi everyone I have a wall plaque for you today that I made out of foam board.

It is mid month reminder time over at SASPC this

months challenge is Ravages of Time.

If you have never tried to do steam punk why not give it a go. I started by using 

some grunge board that I had tried to die cut with a cog die but was it was 

to thick so it left a lovely imprint of the cogs.

I then used a Tim Holtz die to cut out the houses. I used Deco Art media line 

paints, textures & varnishes, to colour them. The above house was scraped with

texture sand paste once dry it was coloured with 

media fluid acrylic in cobalt turquoise and two coats of 

Andy's dirty wash.

unfortunately I can't tell you how i made the base of the house above 

but if you would like to learn Andy Skinner Timeworn

on line coarse shows you how.

This is done using the same process. paints used were Quinacridone Gold

covered with burnt umber, & slight touches of cobalt turquoise.

Americana burnt orange was painted onto white card that had been screwed up 

& the time stencil was added with media modelling paste. 

Three coats of Andy's dirty wash was used over the 

top to age it. Andy's industrial stamps were

stamped in black stazon to age it further.

Close up of the cog impressed grunge board.

Another close up.

Deco art media crackle paste was used to frame the houses.

 Once dry it was painted with Phthalo turquoise &

treasure gold was used to highlight the uneven area's.

Home made clock embellishments and cogs were used to decorate 

and enhance the plaque.

That's all folks please let me know what you think as I really 

enjoy hearing what you have to say and it inspires 

me to keep trying.

Don't forget why not join in don't let the words steam punk put you off our very 

talented team offer a real variety of steam punk.  Lot's of the teams work  is very elegant & 

you never know

you might end up winning some lovely goodies!!!!

June Challenge over at The Artistic Stamper

 Hi everyone its time to play over at The Artistic Stamper 

This months challenge is Summer is coming.

I have used Neil Walkers Fantasy background and border stamp,

The new dragonfly stamp & the new petal masks. 

I used Fresco finish paint in Beach Hut, Pea Coat, Inky Pool,

Limelight & snowflake for the base. I had stamped 

The fantasy plate onto distress mop up card 

with chipped sapphire DI.

I tore strips of the mop up card then stuck to the base and then

Grunge paste was put through the petal mask and

crackle paste was put round the edges &

painted when dry with fresco paint.

The fantasy border stamp was stamped onto the base board in chipped

Sapphire DI and gold embossed. 

gold gilding wax was used to highlight the petals and

crackle paste.

The dragonfly was stamped in Bora Bora & Limelight fresco paint

and clear embossed while still wet.

This then got a coat of Smoked Paprika and London Bus.

cog die cut's and sequins completed the look.

I layered it all onto blue then black embossed card that was highlighted

with gold gilding wax.

I hope you all enjoyed my post be sure to join in with us over at the Artistic Stamper 

where you have a brilliant chance to win Artistic Stamper stamps.

Paper Artsy challenge Bottles

Hi everyone hope you are all OK and  doing a lot of crafty things

I haven't had time to make a new bottle for this challenge

but still had this one that I made a while ago.

I wanted to take part in the Paper Artsy challenge as I want to do more

of these bottles just need lots of hours. 

I created this bottle from an old Sambuca bottle that my son

had  picked up on holiday.

I covered the bottle in gesso then applied alcohol inks 

in terracotta and denim.

I used film clay and stamped into this then moulded it round 

the bottle. Which I then baked in an oven

on a very low setting.

I then finished of with treasure gold.

I hope you like it for those of you who have not seen this before.

Please feel free to let me know what you think.

Eyes Tested

Hi everyone hope you are all well its time to play over at SanDee &Amelie's
Steampunk challenge,

This months the theme is eye's tested although you would need your

eye's tested if you think you will be able to see 

through my glasses!!

The base is a pair of my son's sunglasses that I covered over with my

home made leather.

Various clock and compasses were stamped on distress coloured card 

& used for each lens then cogs and wings 

attached.

I Attached a glass fuse across the nose with wire.

Die cut card and coloured it so that it looked like the patina from rust.

It is amazing what you can create when you put your mind to it I nearly gave

up with this but my husband and son wouldn't let me.

I am glad I didn't please let me know what you think?
