Steampunk Birthday

Hi all

Well there seems to be a bit of a theme with my posts at the minute. Since my last post yet again I've had another hospital admission with my abdominal pain. I'm waiting on further investigations to try to find out what is happening. Therefore i've been doing lots of resting at home and have enjoyed doing more colouring. One of the images I've coloured I have managed to make into a card this morning.

Here was the image as coloured.

This image is by Sheena Douglass, she is part of the Time Traveler collection.

Now for the finished card

Well I am going to enter this into the following challenges

Mixed media clock

Hi all I'm back today to share a clock I've made. I started it yesterday evening by adding the texture building stages using white crackle texture paste drying after. Then used various stencils and embossing paste. I dried this and then added a coat of black gesso and left it to dry over night. This morning I added some colour onto it using Pebeo Dyna paints. I added die cut numbers cut out of silver mirror card. However I wasn't happy with it as it was too dark for what I wanted it for and thought the silver numbers didn't go with it. So I sat back and looked at it and decided I wanted it lighter. Well no loss as out came my heavy white gesso and I gave it a good coating. Before adding the white gesso I sanded the numbers slightly so that the paint could adhere better and this also gave extra texture. I dried this off and added the Dyna paints again and some Art Alchemy Opal Magic in Rose Gold. Well I felt much happier with how it was loo...
