The sky's the limit...

I've created a new double page in my black journal.

I painted over with a quick coat of gesso, followed by a few splashes of Indigo blu paint in shades of brown and orange and a little green. Then sponged some metallic paint through a stencil.

Next I stamped some clocks, cogs and various backgrounds stamps all over in black, yellow and green. 

To create lots of layers I diecut some cogs out of brown and yellow card and rubbed in 2 shades of gold gilding wax and glued them around the edges of both pages.

I stamped some steampunk animals from crafters companion and coloured one with watercolours.

And the other with spectrum illustrator pens. Once stuck on the page I went round each image with dark graphite pencil and smudged it in.

Then I used a white pen to draw round all the cogs and to apply a bit of highlight to the page.

It was finished off with a stamped sentiment.

So there you are, I hope you like it.
