Something Old.....Something New

Happy New Year and welcome to the first Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge of 2012. The challenge this time around is Something Old.... Something New.

An old vintage tin for something old, coloured with Alcohol Inks raisin and rust, creating a little steampunk piece using images from Tim Holtz Steampunk set. Something new being a new stamp, not yet inked, Tim's Synchronicity stamp, a perfect addition for a little steampunk, with the addition of Spockets and Game Spinner. Wendy's images also play a part in this piece in the form of the Steampunk Art set along with background image from Tim's Grunge Cirque set. A little background colour from Distress Ink aged mahogany and the inside is complete.

This is what my tin looked like before its transformation.  Must admit I really enjoyed altering this one and think this will be the first of many.

I sanded the outside of my tin to remove all the paint and then coloured with Alcohol Inks. The dashing gentlemen are from Wendy's Steampunk Art and Tim's Steampunk set.  The gentleman in the background has been stamped onto acetate using black StazOn and the gentleman in the foreground is stamped onto white card, added to a bottle cap, coloured with Alcohol inks and Glossy Accents added to the top for dimension.

The reverse has again been coloured with Alcohol Inks, STEAMPUNK ART added  on white card, edges sponged with Distress Ink Aged Mahogany and Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Timepiece and Game Spinner added.
