Steampunk Hanging

I started of by painting some burgundy corrugated card with orange and white acrylic paint, then I coloured some white card with tattered rose, antique linen and dried marigold distress ink using the direct to paper technique, I stamped lots of images on top of this using broken china and tea die distress ink and black archival ink. I cut out three images from a piece of Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante paper, then I attached it all to the backing card. I added cogs etc and wrapped some wire round a pencil to get the curly wire.
The stamps I used are by Katzelkraft and 7 Gypsies.
I'm entering this into Simon Says Stamp and Show some metal challenge and Just For Fun steampunk challenge.

  2. Oh wow, Hazel. What a fabulous hanging - and so much to see on it - keep being drawn back to it and seeing something else.
    Love how you have that lady 'off the page' and the words you have used are terrific (who does them please?)
    Thank you so much for joining us at JFF again - Hugs, Neet x

  8. Ooooh corrugated, don't you just love it, my favourite canvas!!!!

    Love what you've done with it and that piece of sprung wire dangling from the bottom really sets it alive (for me anyway).

    Thanks for steam punking with JFF this week.

  14. Great art Hazel. It's the sort of thing I would love to do myself but my attempts always turn out rubbish. Can see I will have to beg some lessons.
