I had lots of fun playing with ranger foil, embossing and adding black paint dabber...love how this looks! I am loving my first few plays with ranger foil..
and i love the steampunk guys and hand and stuff, so just had a ball! I added my favourite ideaology cogs and spinners..my favourite embellishment for these steampunk pieces. The background, was embossed and inked with DI then i added some clear embossing powder and tapped a lot off to , heated to create texture.
