Stampotique Designers Challenge.........148 Steampunk !

It's Wednesday and we have a new challenge.

This week Kathi set us the challenge, there is a link to her blog on the right hand side of my post.

This is what Kathi had to say ......"Steampunk is an inspired movement of creativity and imagination. With a backdrop of either Victorian England or America’s Wild West at hand, modern technologies are re-imagined and realized as elaborate works of art, fashion, and mechanics. If Jules Verne or H.G. Wells were writing their science fiction today, it would be considered “steampunk.”"

So with this in mind I choose these three stamps and set to work......

This is what I made, a canvas, my very first attempt at a canvas......

Here are a few step by step photos to give you an idea how I made this 

First I die cut some cogs from cardboard and added some metal ones and laid them on the canvas.

Next I covered it with layers of tissue using mod lodge to stick it down,about five in all

Then I sprayed it with Dylusions ink 

When dry added Inka gold

Next I stamped these two images from stampotique and coloured them in

Then stamped this steampunk stampotique stamp five times and made a Long boarder and coloured and blended that

Next I cut it out and put tape round the outside of the canvas to tidy and neaten it up

Then I put the long boarders round the outside glued the images and quote in place and here is my first canvas!

Now it's over to you..... Show us your steampunk and join us at the stampotique designers challenge the link is on the right hand side of this post.
