 Hi everyone!

I'm back today to share another layout I created!

Industrial Spring Set

Fishing Net Bits

Word Circle Set 2

6" Circle Revolution Frames

For the title piece I used Speckled Egg and Peacock Feathers ink then heat embossed with clear powder

The smallest revolution frame i inked with the speckled egg ink.

I inked the fishing net pieces then added some Prima art stones for added visual interest

The industrial springs were perfect for this layout.  I inked them ion the peacock feathers ink then added some brown ink.

Handsome - Laura Gilhuly

Hi everyone!

I am back to share another layout I created of my wonderful husband!

2Crafty Products used;

Chevron Bits

Steampunk Collage

Handsome Title

Circle Dot Frames (I used the negative part)

Industrial Spring

Filmstrip medium

Steampunk Gears Medium

I wanted the title to stand out against the busy background so I simply heat embossed it black.

The gears, spring, collage, chevrons and filmstrip I wanted to be grungy and have an industrial feel.  To accomplish this I painted each piece with white gesso and once dry I added some heavy texture paste.  Once the paste was dry I layered colors using oranges, browns, greys and black spray mist then I inked the outside edges.

Love the rustic feel of these pieces which suit my theme perfectly.

Hope you like my page and I've inspired you to get crafty today.

I also used one of the small springs from the 'Industrial Spring Set',

'Steampunk Octopus' with Lisa Amiet

 

Hello 2Crafty lovers!
It's Lisa here today to share some inspiration with you.
I was lucky enough to recently attend a mixed media class
 with the oh so talented, and hilarious, Antonis Tzanidakis.

I learnt some fabulous techniques and created a gorgeous steampunk seahorse panel.
I have created this octopus panel with the same style and theme
 so that I can hang them in my art room.
For this panel, I used some of the fabulous new
2Crafty industrial steampunk designs. 

I am so happy with how this turned out that I just had to share it with you all!

2Crafty Products used:

I have used some of the awesome 'Industrial Pipes/Mechanics' that I have painted red,

and then used an antiquing paste to distress. 

I have also used some of the 'Steampunk Gears Medium' and 'Steampunk Gears Small',

that I have finished in either red or brown to suit the theme.

I have also used a couple of the 'Giant Gears' to use in my background,
also painted red and distressed.

I have also used some of the 'Industrial Light Bulbs' and 'Industrial Spring Set',

that I have finished with the same technique.

I am in love with these panels and I just love Antonis' style of mixed media,

if you can get to one of his classes I highly recommend it.
Along with the awesome new industrial designs,
the perfect combination of steampunk.

I hope that you like what I have created.

Until next time!

Lisa
