I created this card a while back as my application for the Papercraft Star Design Team. It was a challenge for me since Steampunk is not my normal style. It's always fun for me to play with new forms of art and I really liked the way it turned out. And even more Thrilled they liked it too!!!
I started by taking black cardstock and spraying it with silver Glimmer Mist. Over that is a layer of gold shimmer paper that was aged with ink. The next layer was made by scanning a sheet of rub-ons from 7 Gypsies called "Time" and printing on cream cardstock. By doing that it allowed me to color the images and ink it all up. In various places I rubbed metallic paste added a bunch of vintage watch faces, a few random metal findings and a few square bronze brads.
I put Liquid Glass over elements like the watch faces, gears and hourglass for more definition. It is such a great medium to create "glass" or to use as glue.

Love it! I love that you used the printed image and then added metal over them. I agree with you about creating a "glass" look, fabulous. Wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteThis card just blew me away when I saw it. I just thought it was such a great idea to make the print off the rub on sheet and make it the focal point of the card. This was a challenge for everyone on the team and everyone of us took on the steampunk challenge instead of going with just a metal element. LOL Guess we all like to step outside of the norm every once and a while. Fabulous project Jennifer!
