Steampunk Dressform

I have used the Steampunk Dressform and the Light Bulbs stamps designed by Sam Poole for this weeks DT creation for Creative Expressions.

I created a mixed media canvas board stamping the Steampunk Dressform and Light Bulbs stamps first onto the canvas using black Archival Ink.

Next I added some chicken wire to the canvas board and once secured in place I then began to add my embellishments, adhering with my hot glue gun. I also added dimension to the wings on the dressform, stamping onto acetate with black StazOn ink.

I added wings from Tim's Adornments Regal along with Mini Gears and lots of nuts and bolts from my collection.

A copper letter 'D' has been added to represent dressform and several flowers and Mini Numerals and a Faucet Knob from Tim's Idea-ology range.

A Word Band and a Watch Face Charm have also been included along with any of my rusty finds.

Once everything was secured in place I then spritzed with Dylusions Ink Sprays, taking care to cover the dressform image but allowing the ink to colour the edges so that my images blend into the canvas. Once coloured and completely dry I then dry brushed the whole canvas with Gesso to highlight.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x
