Steampunk Canvas Art with Veronica

Hi, Veronica here today to share with you my latest project.  I had some of my girl friends over the other day and we decided to paint.  The picture was given to me by my friend Michelle.  She had a beautiful wedding, and I was lucky enough to be part of her special day.

In the spirit of "Using Your Stash" Challenge that ends this month, I gathered all my "onesies" embellishments and used them up.

Remember our challenge:

Here is the challenge to you!

We at LSS want you to create a project using stuff from your stash and some Leaky Shed Studios chipboard and Leaky Shed Studio will send out a prize!  

To play just post a link to your blog post of your project using your stash and Leaky Shed Studio chipboard in the comments section before May 21st and we will draw a winner ...

My process:

Basically, you gather your product layer your canvas and start adding your embellishments.  Then you gesso your elements to give them tooth and prepare for color.

For my post today I decided to use an old wire basket that I was going to throw out.  Instead I re-purposed it and used some pieces of left over paper, a roll of jute string, my glue and of course my Leaky Shed Studio chipboard.

Leaky Shed Studio - Chipboard Shapes - Bracket Frame

I started by preparing my chipboard with Tim Holtz Distress Inks ...

I then used a little "wow" embossing powder in copper to give my chipboard a metal industrial look.

I added the bracket background and was finished with my frame

I have lots of jars of different crystals, metal pieces, and pretty jewels.  So instead of having all my jars spread around ... I decided to put them all in one place.

Thank you so much for stopping by our challenge today.  Remember if you want to play leave a comment below with a link to your project using your stash and Leaky Shed Studio
