DT Scrap FX - Steampunk Time

Welcome!

Our theme this month Steampunk Time - yes, that's me :-) 
I decided to make a home decoration project. 
There were two bookends from sale which I painted with some acrylic paints.
Now they look even older, I love this distressed look.

 

Scrap FX products used:


this octopus is my favourite from our new chipboard steampunk series,
 he looks so cool and adventurous, or?!
firstly I used Glimmer Mist Verdigris as base ink
then added some embossing powders
black, copper and green,
as eye a little black pearl
and he was ready to glue it on the big letter


Reading a good book is also always a new journey and adventure and so was the wordlet 'Enjoy the journey '
very suitable for my bookends.


here as base ink Glimmer Mist Slate and a mix from black and copper embossing powder



Hopefully you will now feel even more inspired to create your own Steampunk project.
I really enjoyed working on mine!!!

Many thanks for stopping by!
Happy crafting!

Childhood Dreams

Welcome everyone,

Our new theme at Our creative corner in this month hosted by our new very creative Teamie Candice (aka Tinkan) is

- Junk in the Trunk -

 "So my challenge to you is to create something out of any kind of junk and re-fashion it either into something useful, functional or beautiful.
I am leaving the challenge open to your interpretation of what constitutes “Junk”. 


It may mean a set of hideously patterned china that you want to smash up and a make a mosaic...
It may mean reams of patterned paper you have lying around that you turn into a collage masterpiece...
It may mean doing something with skeins of wool that you intended to make a a sweater with...
It may mean doing something with rusty keys,nuts and bolts and random pieces of wire that you pick up off the street...
You can create whatever you want to, however you want to and with whatever you want to.
The only rules are that your project MUST contain something that you have reclaimed or recycled. "



My idea was to use an old book for a new art journal page in mixed media style, perhaps not practical at first view, but  yet personally for me. It combines words and pictures, thoughts and feelings, application of varoius innovative techniques and the idea of telling a story.






- zunächst mit weißem Gesso grundieren
- außerdem wurde aus einem anderen alten Buch
ein Schiffsrumpf und Kartenmaterial ausgeschnitten und mit verdünntem Gesso übermalt
- da meine Handschrift nicht immer so passend ist ;-) werden die Textbilder ausgedruckt
- passend zum Thema habe ich von einem Scrapbookpapier eine Burg als ''Luftschloss'' mit Kohlestift abgemalt




 jetzt kam ein Vielzahl an Schablonen zum Einsatz, immer zunächst mit weißem Gesso, mit dem Heißluftfön getrocknet und anschließend mit Distressfarben (mit Wasser verdünnt) als Sprühfarben genutzt



die Schriftzüge werden mit Decoupagekleber aufgeklebt





die eingesetzten Stempel sind von Viva Decor, Flonzkraft, Kaisercraft und Prima Marketing


The girls at OCC have come up with some inspiring and different versions on the theme this time.
Please pop on over and have fun!!

  This month one lucky winner will win a prize from our  sponsor craftyindividuals.co.uk,



I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Happy sunday!!

Dream Dancer

Hi crafty friends,

Mrs. Shadow Box here :-), that's my new nickname, I love this objects, because the depth effect creates a fascinating and dramatic visual result.
 Our new theme on Sandee &Amelies Steampunkchallenge      Destinations 

Don't we all love to travel! Going to new places, learning about foreign culture, enjoying foreign cuisine, visiting wonderful sights all around the globe...is so exciting, isn't it!


Ich hatte wohl den Ohrwurm, sprich ...Ich war noch niemals in New York...im Kopf, als die Idee zu diesem Projekt entstand.
I probably had the earwig in my head,... I've never been to New York ... when the idea for this project came.





 Also schnappte ich mir die nächste Shadow box und lies eine Traumtänzerin über die Dächer von New York spazieren. Die dunklen Schatten der Nacht umschwärmen die Skyline.
So ein Traum ist doch auch immer ein Drahtseilakt zwischen Gut und Böse, oder ?!
Witziger Weise entstand durch das Fotografieren noch ein neuer Effekt im Licht- und Schattenspiel, na schon entdeckt???  (die Auflösung steht am Ende ;-))
 So I grabbed the next Shadow box and had a dream dancer over the rooftops of New York stroll. The dark shadows of the night swarming around the skyline.
So a dream but always a balancing act between good and evil, right?!
Funnily enough, was created by photographing still a new effect in light and shadow, na already discovered ??? (the resolution is at the end;-))



Die Rückfront der Box besteht aus dem in schwarz/weiß ausgedruckten Clipart Image, wobei der obere Teil der Skyline mit einem Glimmer Pen versiegelt wurde und der untere Teil als Spiegelbild grau blieb. Der Nachthimmel wurde mit Distressink eingefärbt. Der Hintergrund ist bestempelt (LaBlanche Zahnräder + Schnörkel).
The back face of the box is made with black / white printed Clipart Image, the upper part of the skyline was sealed with a glimmer Pen and the lower part remained gray as a mirror image. The night sky was colored with Distressink. The background is stamped (LaBlanche gears + flourishes).


Die Rück- und Seitenfronten der Box sind ebenfalls mit Distressink eingefärbt und bestempelt.
 The back and side doors of the box are also colored with Distressink and stamped.


 meine Traumtänzerin ist eine alte Papieranziehpuppe, ausgeschnitten und noch ein wenig aufgehübscht mit schwarzem Tüll und kleinen Metallcharms
my dream dancer is an old paper doll cut out and a little pimped with black tulle and small metal charms


Der Regenschirm wurde aus 6 Einzelteilen zusammengeklebt. Es ist silberne Metallfolie mit schwarzer Acrylfarbe gestrichen, geprägt und anschließend mit Sandpapier übergeschliffen.
 The umbrella was assembled from 6 items. It is silver metal foil with black acrylic painted, embossed and then sanded over with sandpaper.



die gleiche Technik wurde auch am rechten oberen Rand verwendet ( Embossing folder Uhren)
the same technique was also used at the top right (Embossing folder Watches)



die Textur am unteren linken Rand entstand mit Hilfe von einer Schablone (Spiderweb) und silberner Cracklepaste
das sogenannte Drahtseil ist ein Stück Gliederkette, was mit Hilfe von zwei Pinnadeln (links zu sehen) an der Pappbox befestigt wurde
auf der zweiten Pinnadel rechts wurde ein ausgestanztes Zahnrad aus Metallfolie als 3D Element aufgeklebt
the texture at the bottom left created with the help of a template (Spiderweb) and silver Cracklepaste
the so-called wire rope is a piece of link chain, which was (see left) with the help of two thumbtacks attached to the cardboard box
on the second Pin right gear from a punched metal sheet was glued on as a 3D element

Solution:
Auflösung:


 rechts neben der Freiheitstatue hat sich ein Tornado zusammen gebraut
so kann der Wunschtraum auch schnell zum Alptraum werden 

right next to the Statue of Liberty, a tornado is brewing
so the dream can be a nightmare too fast

If i could say this, it's one of my favourite Steampunk projects, an original © Kerstin :-).
So whatever you associate with "Destinations" - it is what we want to see (steampunked of course) with your projects for our November Challenge
Please hop over to Sandee &Amelies Steampunkchallenge  to see what the rest of the very talented team have made!
Thanks for stopping by, it means so much! Have a great weekend friends!
and I'm looking forward to see your project.

Greetings Kerstin

Adventure Steampunk Power

Hi friends,

that's my new Steampunk Shadow box for the Compendium of Curiosities 3 - Effect Powder
This challenge makes use of Tim’s special Distress Embossing Powders.
 Inspiration Emporium is the big sponsor for this challenge.

wie einige von euch wissen, liebe ich dieses Thema, deshalb bin ich auch mit viel Spaß und Freude im DT von SanDees&Amelies Steampunk Challenge dabei.

Das Besondere daran ist für mich immer wieder die Verbindung von Abenteuer, Romantik und Wissenschaft. Die Entdeckung des Unbekannten mit einem offenen Geist, also praktisch die pure Kreativität in ihrer schönsten Form.
Inventive genius and adventurous romance are what makes Steampunk so very special and exciting to me.



wie man hier mal wieder erkennen kann, arbeite ich unheimlich gern mit diesen Embossing-Prägefoldern, ob mit Metallfolie, alten Buchseiten oder auf Zeichenkarton, es entstehen immer besondere Highlights, die man mit Hilfe der großen Distressfarbpalette der Firma Ranger noch hervorheben kann.



dieser großartige Dampflokstempel eignete sich bestens, um mit geballter Kraft aus der Wand (bzw. aus der alten Buchseite) hervor zu brechen. Das Stempelmotiv wurde ausgeschnitten und einzelne Stellen mit klarem Embossingpulver hervorgehoben.



das Detailfoto zeigt die Verwendung des Embossingpulvers Black Soot charred effect



...und noch ein Blick von oben

I am entering my Shadow frame Altered Art into the following challenges:
  
Try it on Tuesday Recycle it (old booksite + Frame)
Imagination-crafts challenges-Anything-goes
Simon says stampblog Wednesday Anything-goes
That craft place blog -Sentimental
Anything but a card Steampunk

Be inspired by this paradox and magical world too!

Lasst euch inspirieren von der fantastischen Welt des Steampunkstyle!
Thank you to all who take the time to look at this project.

LG Kerstin
