Welcome to my creative space!
I was under the weather for a while and then got busy preparing to host our family gathering for Christmas, so haven't been spending much time in my studio. I'm delighted to be back with this steampunk/industrial card I created for our son-in-law, Andrew's, birthday.
The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge this week is all about rust.
You can find the challenge HERE.
I die cut the gears and other elements from chipboard using Tim Holtz's Sizzix Steampunk and Industreal Bigz dies, then used Finnabair rust pastes, metallic paints and waxes to achieve the rusty patina effect that looks just like metal. I just adore the grit in the rust paste that not only gives the color of rust, but the gritty texture as well. I also added rusty patina to the Word Band, Philosophy Tag, Clock, and hardware pieces using Finnabairs metallic waxes.
