Hi everyone .... today I'm back sharing my last DT project using Sam's Steampunk Christmas set for Creative Expressions. This weeks piece is a grungy 5x7 canvas board and a "how to
piece it all together" .... I started out by painting a 5x7 canvas in Traditional Tan Acrylic Paint
take the image below and stamp
randomly using Distress Ink (Gathered Twigs)
emboss preferred size of cardstock
here I used the Couture Creations Workshop Folder
which was then inked with Distress Ink (Antique Linen)
the edges were then highlighted with Distress Stain (Tarnished Brass)
blend Distress Ink onto cardstock and "spritz & flick" with water
trim to size and adhere with Cosmic Shimmer Glue. Stamp quotes from Sam Poole's Art Sayings set in Archival Ink (Jet Black) and cut to size, adhere as above
to finish stamp cog wheel randomly in Distress Ink (Gathered Twigs), add Self Adhesive Pearls (Black 3mm) to each corner
and add a Self Adhesive Pearl (Black 5mm) for the birds eye. Adhere key from the Assorted Key Charms pack.
That's all for now folks but I will be back next week with some new designs .... until then TFL x
