There Is No Beauty Without Some Strangeness

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday! The latest challenge over at Lost Coast Designs is Vintage/Steampunk, and I've taken us under the Steampunk sea.


My teamie Iona is the queen of masking, and I decided that I really should do this more. So, I stamped my punky creatures on some heavy-duty mixed media paper, and made my masks.


Then I dipped and dabbed in Distress Oxides. Time for the great reveal....

Phew it worked, I now have my steampunk fish and seahorse ready to colour.

These have been coloured with paint pens and pencils. If I'm really honest, I'm much happier to stamp and fussy cut rather than mask, so I can't see myself doing this again in the near future.
I've finished off with some white embossing, and some rusty Frantage. The quote is by Edgar Allan Poe and I thought it fitted in quite well. Then I've just sewn it into my journal.


These are the stamps that I used

I hope you like it, and that you join in with our challenge.


Enjoy your weekend, and thanks so much for looking x
