Good morning! When I saw the current challenge over at the
East Wind I knew I'd have to find time to join in! Steampunk is one of my favourites! I know it doesn't appeal to everyone so I don't often make cards using this style...so, inspired by some of my lovely blog buddies, I decided to make a mini canvas.I painted the canvas with white acrylic because my gesso smelt awful, think it had gone off :( then used distress inks to stencil the background cogs.The image I've used is this month's freebie from The East Wind, it's just a beautiful face...no hair! I coloured using my copics then added the 'hair' using stamped and embossed cogs, just cut an aperture to fit her face into. I fitted it through the Tim Holtz clock die cut which has been embossed using frantage. I stuck this to the canvas adding the metal sentiment and a tiny stamped clock. I added some wings to the stamped embossed sentiment and then finished off with metal buttons and laser cut wooden cogs. I so enjoyed making this even though I haven't a clue what I'm going to do with it!
Thanks for visiting today, hope you're enjoying a good week!

I love your canvas it looks awesome. I like steampunk but don't make it often too because not many people like it. Thank you for sharing it at the Creative Corner Challenges.

Well to be totally honest, and I try very hard to be, Steampunk doesn't float my boat, but this is a great canvas and I can appreciate the time and effort you have put into it, very clever design and a lovely creation in the style.

I love steampunk and you rocked this challenge, Chris. This is such a gorgeous canvas and the way you inserted the face into the weathered clock is so clever and effective. The details are very cool on this canvas! Thanks so much for joining our Steampunk/Industrial/metal Challenge at The East Wind. Thanks for the inspiration!
