September 1 STEAMPUNK

Yet another month, time for a new challenge at My Besties international challenge blog.
Everybody can enter any card  you like. This month the optional theme is steampunk.

Ass an example I made this card using  steampunk My besties digi which you can find here.

I colored the image with my Winsor and Newton Brushmarkers

For the background I used a white 14x14 cm paper. I colored this with blue and red distress ink after which I created some intrest by using  a mask and the same inks. Then I stamped a coupe of background stamps and with another mask I created some depth with structure paste. On top of this I colored the whole page softly with a brown distress ink. For the bits I did with the structure paste I used a gel medium with some Shine pigment powder. I put a vintage collage medium (Ranger) on top of all of it. And to finish the whole thing off I used some crackle accents (Ranger) to give it a vintage look. 

I distressed the sides and tore the paper a bit at several places

For the embellishments I used several metal flowers, leaves, clocks, corners and other bits and pieces. I made them black with black gesso (Dutch Doobadoo) after which I put three different colors of Pearl Pigment powder (in gel medium) on. 

I Hope I have inspired you with this card and hope to see your entry soon.

Bye for now,
