Steampunk Mixed Media Canvas


Hey everyone. Today i'm sharing a very special project. So what i made was a canvas in a slightly girlish Steampunk style with lots of mixed media touches and a bit of grunge. I created this canvas during a class for Creating the Crafting Life but the colors that i chose to use where from the Lindy Stamp Gang Color Challenge. I'm entering this canvas into their color challenge and also for the Design Team Call. I have never tried out for a design team before, so i'm very nervous. This is also my fist attempt at steampunk but i think it came out great and can't wait to play around like this again :) I used tons of metal embellishment from Tim Holtz and Graphic 45. The chipboard pieces were so fun to work with, like the Steampunk Cameo Lady and the Hot Air Balloon which are from Leaky Shed Studio. I even added some fun grungy flowers and of course textured the background in my most favorite way, using a template and modeling paste. The colors that gave it life and all that shimmer were from Lindy Stamp Gang and I used TiffanyLou Blue, Creme Brulee Cream, Milk Chocolate Brown, Dark Chocolate Truffle and small random touches of Afternoon Delight Denim. A supply list will be below. I hope you like the canvas!
