Believe in Yourself by Helen Chilton

This week I've made a quick art journal page using some of the new Steampunk Darlings Stamps by Kelly Horton.

This is the set I've used:

For the background I'm using a piece I already had, an A5 journal page decorated with stencils using the Gel Press. I've used a variety of Multi Surface paints.

The girl is stamped onto glossy card and coloured in with pens.

I then took some of the Craftyboard Cogs and arranged them.

I painted them a mix of colours...

...and then stamped over them to add more interest.

I used a Posca pen to add white detail.

Having done all that I decided to add some yellowy/orange cogs to tie the coloured background in.

Add your quote and you're done!

That's the second week in a row that I've used a background that was already done - it's much easier than starting from scratch and as I tend to keep odd bits of stencilled/painted/stamped card and paper, I usually have plenty to choose from!

Have a good weekend!
