Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new steampunk wooden canvas as Design Team 

member for 13arts using the amazing Industrial Zone collection.

I prepared the background of my canvas by 

embossing thin metal sheets, painting them with 

Golden Calcite Color Glow with acrylic medium 

and then, once dry, lightly brushed with brown 

vintage paint.

I cut paper from the collection to fit the centre of 

my canvas and gave it a good coating of clear gesso.

I then stenciled onto the paper with the Golden Calcite 

Color Glow mixed with gel medium, dragging the 

product downwards on my paper.

I added the medium along the edges of the paper 

and, while the product was still wet, I lightly added 

Rusty Bronze powder to it, adding the reagent to 

allow the powder to react and turn rusty. 

I painted the chipboard pieces with the brown vintage paint.

Resin embellishments were painted with black gesso, 

then the brown vintage paint and then, while the 

paint was still wet, Rusty Bronze powder was added,

together with the reagent.

I cut many pieces out of the cut-out sheets and 

added these to my canvas together with all of the 

embellishments which I had altered.

I hope that this project inspires you to create your 

own with these amazing papers and products.
