A Little Steampunk And A Little Vintage

Hi Everyone,  Karen here with a couple of projects to share with you today!

For my first project I decided to do a canvas piece for this amazing Steampunk photo that I found.  I used a small canvas and to alter the chipboard pieces I first gessoed them and let that dry and then I applied Inka Gold Mettalic Rub -  Green and Copper.  I also applied the Rub to all the metal pieces on the canvas.

Imaginarium Designs Chipboard Used:
Phrase - A Dream Is A Wish Our Hearts Make IDP0106
Skelton of Moroccan IDS0067

Other Materials Used:
Tim Holtz "Halloween" Paper Collection
Tim Holtz Die Cut "Vintage Lace"
Prima Metal
Inka Gold Mettalic Rub "Green and Copper"

For my second project I did a layout of my niece's little guy Carter.  For this layout I wanted a vintage feel to it so I inked all the chipboard piece with some Vintage Photo ink and then rubbed some Inka Gold Mettalic Rub - Copper.  I used a wonderful tutorial from our former team mate and ever-talented Miranda Edney for this layout and added some of my own little touchs and love how it turned out!  IRL the chipboard pieces really look rusty..so love it!!
