Hello! Welcome back to the BPM blog. For the month of September, the DT is creating projects with Steampunk as the theme. To be honest, this is a theme that I do poorly especially since I don't have the images that are considered steampunk. Thankfully, I received some direction from the internet on how to give a non-steampunk image a steampunk feel.
The Blank Page Muse stamps I used on this project are:
I stamped the gnome using the Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Oxide. I colored the image using metallic pens, which is one of the recommendations on how to make an image steampunk looking.
Coloring Mr. Elderwillow's beard was very tricky for me. I flicked a gray marker and used a color pencil to fill in the gaps.
I think I over did coloring Mr. Elderwillow's beard but I guess it added to his scruffy look, what do you think? I stamped the sentiment on the bottom using the same brown ink.
For the word wanted, I adhered the letter rubber stamps to an acrylic block using a washable glue.
I inked the letters using brown ink. I used two shades of brown to add variation.
After inking the stamp, I lightly spritz water on the rubber stamp. I wiped off the water that is on the acrylic block to prevent the water from dripping onto the journal page.
I stamped the letter on the planner page.
If there is too much water on the stamped letter, I used the corner of a paper towel to absorb the excess water.
I heat set the stamped letter before moving on to the next letter.
Another recommendation to make a project steampunk looking is to blend ink to the panel using vintage colors. I created a mask for the gnome by stamping this image on a masking paper. I fussy cut the image. I cut on the line. This does not need to be perfect.
I adhered the mask on the colored image.
I blended inks on the journal page, using brown inks and a black ink.
Removing the mask is like opening a mystery box.
I hope you like today's project.
