I Tried a different style for a new scrapbook page today - Steampunk. I had photos of The Porterhouse, Covent Garden from a trip we took for our 40th birthdays and they were perfect for this theme. I started by using light brown Brushos watercolour crystals to create two circles on my background paper, once dry I added some texture past through a stencil (I meant to take step by step photos but got carried away creating and forgot).
Once the paste was dry I added some stamped cogs/wheels (Artistic Stamper) and embossed with kettle copper EP. I used the sketch from Stuck ?! for my layout.
The Steampunk theme was inspired by the challenge over at 7DotsStudio. I've used paper and a couple of tags from 7Dots illumination collection, plus some scraps from my stash.
I love the interior of The Porterhouse lots of copper pipes and steampunk style decor.
How fun! Isn't it great to try something new! Thanks for joining us at Stuck?! sketches!
