We have a new challenge for you today over at Make My Monday. We're continuing with our April theme of Men and Boys and this week we would like to see your Vintage creations. I'm sure you can guess how much I loved this one and I've made a canvas instead of a card as my inspiration.
My hubby really loves airships so this was inspired by him and you can probably see that my trusty Oxford Impressions steampunk stamps got inky again.
I first covered the canvas with some 7 Gypsies blueprint tissue paper that has been in my stash for ages and is rather appropriate as my hubby is an architect. I adhered it to the canvas with clear floor polish - a bit smelly but very effective!
I then stamped lots of images from both the steampunk sets together with the Paper Artsy man on white tissue paper with black Archival ink. I added colour by sponging with various shades of Distress ink then cut them out.
I added a little further stamping to the canvas with the black ink and coloured the whole thing with Antique Linen Distress Stain. When it was dry, I added the images with a glue stick and then used Vintage Photo Distress ink to blend all the pieces into the canvas. I have to say I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out as the tissue is slightly transparent still so that all the layers show through.
The Design Team have a real treat in store for you with some fabulous creations to inspire you and don't forget we also have a fantastic prize from Marianne Designs this month too and you have to be in it to win it!

hi Fliss,
this creation is fanastic and it's good that you made it as a canvas as it should definitely be hung on the wall. I love all the steam punk images and the classic look to the overall project. This must have taken you some time to do but all the hard work was worth it.
Thanks so much for entering your card at Anything goes, Just keep on creating. I hope you will continue to play along ::)
Lots of gorgeous layers on this one Fliss. Fabulous.
Enjoy your few days away, I hope the weather improves for you.
