Welcome to my creative space!
I had so much fun working with Little Birdie's The Classic Gentleman collection to create this industrial steampunk card for our son-in-law who recently celebrated a birthday. I normally enjoy applying mixed media to the background in the form of stamping and stenciling, but the design was simply too fabulous to cover up. I've used the Little Birdie thincut Cogs and Wheels die set to create gears for my clusters.
I created a DIY video tutorial with voice sharing the techniques used to create this card. I hope you will find inspiration and learn some new techniques.
In this DIY steampunk card tutorial learn how to:
~ Create a patina effect on metal objects with paints and waxes
~ Accentuate background colors
~ Diecut and shade gears from patterned paper
~ Learn my creative process for arranging embellishments
~ Add texture with metal microbeads and prills
Enjoy!
