(be sure to check out the video for this page too).

I have kept papers to a minimum and let the chipboard really shine.

2Crafty Chipboard Used....
Steampunk Arrow Set
Steampunk Gears small
Lightbulb Word Set
Bracket Frames
So lets start with the Bracket pieces. For these I simply used emboss powders,
instead of using just one colour, I chose two that really contrasted from each other.

Again I totally embraced the imperfections.
These two colours just bounce off the chipboard very beautifully and
of course off the page against the white.

For the Steampunk Arrow I cut it in half to elongate it behind my image. I coated this with
some Rust effect pastes, building as I went. Once dry I rubbed a little Metallique Wax
over certain areas to highlight and add shade.

The Steampunk Gears and LightBulb I painted with black gesso, once dry, I dabbed
complimentary wax's to give them this rusty gear look.

The Bulb I decided to use a two tone effect by applying with my finger.
The mediums used on the chipboard really pronounce themselves off my page.
I loved playing with mostly only Chipboard, really making this the main focus of my page.
I hope you are a little inspired by this layout and don't forget to check out the video
to see exactly how it all came together.
