Create Canvas by Alison

Hello Stampers! Today, I have a steampunk canvas to share with you.

I started off by applying a thickish layer of Studio black gesso to a 6x4 inch canvas board. I dried it slightly so that a skin formed, then stamped various steampunk images into it. Once the gesso was completely dry, I painted it with red pepper, aqua & gold paint dabbers.

I used Tim's Alterations to die cut a variety of cogs, then double embossed some with bronze UTEE & some with platinum UTEE. Whilst the UTEE was still molten, I stamped into the bronze cogs with a clock image from the Tick Tock plate, & the platinum ones with the mini lattice wire background. I layered some of the cogs with Ideaology gears & game spinners, then glued them to the canvas, using Studio matt medium.

I stamped the 'Create' definition onto cream paper, edged it with the aqua paint dabber, then distressed the edges & inked with walnut stain distress ink. I used matt medium to glue it to the canvas.

Finally, I used a cropadile to punch two holes in the top corners, then added eyelets & some chain to hang my canvas.

Thanks for looking,
