Steamee McPunk

The upcoming challenge over at Outlawz Saturday Paper Ala Mode Challenge is 'Off the Wall'. The theme is to work with something that you wouldn't usually work with. So I've chosen Steampunk. I've always admired this style but have never attempted it so this was a perfect challenge to give it a go especially when this gorgeous image from sponsor Rick St Dennis was generously provided.

I created the background yellow paper by blending Distress Ink Vintage Photo all over & spritzed with water. Once dried it was stamped with the cogs in Gathered Twig. The die cut cogs & the rust strip were created with a faux rust effect. A quick explanation is that I swiped Weathered Wood stain on white cardstock & dusted with embossing powder while still wet & shock off the excess. Once it was heat set I then blended both Vintage Photo & Gathered Twig over it. Pretty simple but very effective!
