dream of being more ..........for Dragons dream TIO DT

well it is time for another recipe over at Dragons dream TIO and the talented Silvia  has chosen the recipe this time, so you must make a tag, use at least one real stamp and the ingredients below. The ingredients are : waste/ rubbish, chipboard and male themed.

So here is my make : ( the rubbish is a piece of amazon box, chipboard numbers):

I started by cutting a piece of Amazon box into tag size and stripping off some of the top surface, I then set to work with distress paints in black soot and tarnished brass and then played around until happy.

Then I heat embossed in black detail embossing powder, the curiosity statement, I did this in a few places over the background.

I added these fab steampunk gents from Tim Holtz and sentiment, stamped onto cardstock and coloured with distress ink.

I used the spritz and flick technique and removed colour from their faces using my waterbrush. Now onto the embellishments, the chipboard numbers were from my stash and were given a coat of black paint. I added some film strip die cuts, lots of idea-ology..

I also played some more with glass bead texture gel to create these textured cogs..adding washers and fastners to the centre...they were painted and then brushed with treasure gold (white fire).

make sure you pop across and see my fab team mates makes and maybe pop in an entry yourself!

have a fun and inky day!
