Gear It Up

 Hi everyone! 

I am super excited to have been lucky enough to have been chosen to become 

a member of this amazing team so with that in mind I have for you

my first post for SanDee & amelie's Steampunk Challenge.

Why not pop over there and join in with the Challenge,

this month it is Gear it up.

Well as I love cogs this one is easy I had some handmade paper and had 

already tried to create a piece that I wasn't that 

happy with.

The picture below is prior to spritzing it lightly with faded jeans, salty ocean  

distress inks and water to activate.

 I used Fresco Finish paints and a brayer then Tim's flourishes,

grunge paste through crafters workshop stencil. Not to

sure you need to do this bit now as I sprayed it all.

I used La Blanche stamps for the centre panel this was done onto 

recycled card board.

Tim's Embossing folder (small bingo card ) was used on black card 

and highlighted with treasure gold.

Clocks were from my stash I just collect clocks I am not sure where they are

all from.

The cogs are made from a memory box die that has been rusted up with

Deco Arts Multi media Paints.

I added cogs from my stash to enhance the die cut ones.

A close up of the clocks I used crackle accents on the clock faces.

I mounted the entire piece onto foam board to give it more dimension.

 I hope you all like my first piece for SanDee & Amelie's Steam punk challenge, & 

are now feeling inspired to pop over and play along with us. If you would 

like to know more or let me know what you think

just leave me a comment.

A Present For A Friend

Hi everyone! thank you for popping by today and I hope you are all well!

I am recovering from a recent op so am laid up at home.

So need to take my mind of the pain what is better than 

catching up on some crafting.

I made a similar plaque for the Artistic Stamper creative team

back in January and my son's girlfriend fell n love 

with it.

Her favourite colour is green so I decided to make one for her

so here it is in lettuce green.

Same technique as before just different colour wash as in previous post.

Lots of treasure gold and triple embossing.

&

Sequins galore!!!

I hope she likes it let me know what you think?

A Beer Matt Called Compass

Hi everyone I have for you today a beer mat from my local 

micro pub which is called the compass and as I 

LOVE compasses and clocks

I offered to alter their 

beer mat.

OK for this I used Stone Fresco Finish paint mixed with white acrylic.

Next I sprayed it with Distress Stains spray in Iced Spruce, Faded Jeans

 & Gathered Twigs.

Next I brushed on matt multi medium and dried 

with my heat gun.

I had some scrap triple embossed card so I used the New flourish stamp from

The Artistic Stamper and pressed it into the hot embossing powder.

Next I  coloured the embossed card and the die cut cogs with 

Deco Art antiquing cream.

The compass stamp is from Indigo Blue I think the other 

one is a small Tim Holtz clock stamp.

Stencils and lots of Ferro graphite was used. Tommorow

I will be returning their beer mat to them I

hope they like it! let me know 

what you think?

Cheers Dee
