Steampunk Heaven by Fliss Goodwin

Hello!
This week I actually am in heaven as I've managed to combine my favourite steampunk element, cogs, with another favourite to reflect my live of nature - who doesn't love a butterfly!
Step by Step:
My chosen substrate for my mixed media artwork is an MDF panel which I've covered with part of a rusty piece of rice paper from the Rusty Time collection by Paper Designs. The look is just perfect for my project and has amazing detail.
I then took an AB Studio cogs chipboard piece and set about giving it a rusty textured surface.
The first step was to dab on That's Crafty! Sand Texture Paste which is fab for a rusty, crusty look.
Once it was dry, I roughly brushed on some black gesso. It doesn't need to be perfect as I'll be layering other colours on top.
I then took various shades of Multi Surface Paints - Grey and Orange plus lots of metallics - Antique Gold, Bronze, Black, Blue, Copper and Patina. It's very much a go with the flow process so I can only show the end result as there are too many layers to photograph.
I finished off with text stamped on a scrap of my inky paper and brushed bitumen on this too.
Have a great weekend and see you next week.
