Junes Challenge Over @ SASPC

Hi everyone Dee here with Junes steampunk inspiration
over on he SASPC Challenge blog.
I have gone for a vintage look this
 month I hope you like it.
I used lots of Deco art products including chalky finish paint 
starting with a couple of coats of serene on a 
Tando Creative mixed media board.
Boozy bear picture frame treated with texture sand paste.
Painted with paynes grey followed with white 
crackle paint. The inside was filled with
Deco crackle glaze.
Coats of watered down burnt umber and quinacridone gold,
followed by touches of treasure gold.
La blanche stamp was used as the main focal point, 
followed by a Tim Holtz Stamp & the word 
photograph from it stamped across the base 
and down the side.
A cream Prima flower with a pearl in its centre along with
a couple of metal cogs washed with very watered
 down Prussian blue hue media acrylic. 
Ideoligy film strip was run down the side.
Boozy bear clock was cut in half and treated with rust 
powder and touches of copper treasure gold.
Finally seed beads were glued over the cogs on the bottom 
cogs. That's it for today folks why not come and
join us in this months challenge.

I am proud to be a member of Sandee & amelie's design team.

You could win glorious prizes from both 
Deco Art and Boozy bear.
