I love trying new techniques and creating mixed media
explorations. A week or so ago, I had
finished the base of this canvas – it
was covered with embossing powders, pastes and sprays, but had no final
decorations added to it. I decided to add some steampunk elements to finish it
out.
Supplies
Stamps
Hampton Art / 7gypsies
Time is Precious (PS0742), Distressed Clock (PS0679)
Ink
Clearsnap Top Boss –
Watermark ink
Other Supplies
WorldWin Cardstock
Lindy’s Stamp Gang Embossing Powder
Moon Shadow Mists
Starburst Mist
Dreamweaver Black Embossing Paste
TCW stencil
Gesso
Tissue Paper
Canvas
Xyron Mega Runner
Crumple tissue paper and run through Xyron 5” Creative
Station to apply adhesive to the surface.
Tear pieces of the paper and lay onto the canvas. Cover the entire canvas this way. Paint a layer of gesso over the tissue paper
and allow to dry. Rub the watermark ink over the high spots of the canvas and
heat emboss with the dark blue powder. Spritz with mists. Randomly stamp the
watermark ink across the canvas and sprinkle with the light blue powder and
heat emboss. Mist again. Use a stencil
template to apply embossing paste in a diamond pattern. While wet, sprinkle
with embossing powder, and heat set immediately. This will cause the embossing paste to bubble
some. Add another layer of mists and more random embossing powder. Stamp the sentiment and the clock onto
tissue paper with watermark ink, and heat emboss with a black powder. Glue onto the canvas and spray heavily with
the mists and allow to air dry. Die cut
the Steampunk elements and rub with the watermark ink, and heat emboss 3 layers
of powder. Apply to the canvas.
