Steampunk style

Hello
Today I'm sharing a card made for an 18th birthday for someone who loves textiles and design. Hope it fits the bill.

Unfortunately I accidentally deleted the photos of how I made the background. I used an embossing folder for the tailor's dummy image and stuck on black peel-offs, before painting over it with black gesso and Fresco Finish chalk paint.



I used various metallic waxes to highlight the embossed areas...



...and added the embossed and die cut numbers.


It's a good technique to get a different look from your embossing folders.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a lovely day xx
