I embossed the butterfy and coloured it mostly with white Prismacolour pencil. I mounted the butterfly onto a Weathered Clock die cut which I had painted with texture paint and mica to give a rusty verdigirs effect. I backed that with some card embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder, highlighting the raised image with gold rubbing paste.
I back the whole thing onto a cover I made from kraft card to fit a cleap diary, covering it with pieces of Script paper from Prima, coating the whole lot with loads of matt medium to make it durable. I finished off with brass charms, scrabble tiles and a sentiment "Time Flies" from another of the Steampunk sets, fixed into place with a piece of chain.
I hope you have enjoyed your Christmas festivities. Life is beginning to get back to normal in our house, so my crafty mess may reappear very soon!

ReplyDeleteYou have been busy, this is a great idea and the verdigris effect on the 'clock' is brilliant. Just love it - you've inspired me to go shopping for a cheap diary!!
ReplyDeleteLove your use of those Scrabble tiles & the various aged elements combined with the script. Very interesting technique with the white Prismacolor too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy using it & thanks for the Matt Medium tip.

Absolutely beautiful, Elaine! Nice work on this card! Love your techniques, and the color is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow buddy, how did I miss this one! Well, I know why really, lol! I've barely looked at any blogs since before Christmas and as you said, this first few days of January has flown by....... Guess who just knocked at the door? My Postie .... and he's brought me happy mail from Chocolate Baroque. In the parcel was that lovely Prima Script pad and the Steampunk Butterfly stamp set, lol! I hope I come up with something as gorgeous as your diary. I can just imagine how intrigued and envious people will be when you get that out to write appointments in.
