Hi all and welcome to a new challenge month at
A Vintage Journey. This month our hostess chose Industrial. What a great chance to use some of my favorite things including a fabulous image from Graphic 45's Steampunk Debutante Line. I had so much fun creating this canvas - hope you enjoy it.
First few steps were, of course, gesso, paint and some gears glued down to the canvas. When all that was dry, I used the Measured Layering Stencil to create some random numbers and lines.
I found the image I wanted to use, cut it out and mated it with black. I didn't stop there.
Next I added a crown to the bird in the background, stamped some little flowers around the bodice, added Glossy Accents and some Remnant Rubs to the small bird, a pearl bracelet and some Stickles in her hair. This is a fun way to add some interest and dimension to a print.
For the final step I added some black Gadget Gears held on with brads,
and a faucet handle to the top.
Hope you will join this months challenge and have some fun with the Creative Guides over at
Have a wonderfully creative weekend,
