Creativity takes Courage

Hello November! Not long now till this year

will be over. No doubt we are all hoping for a better 2021

but till then

It's time for our New Steampunk Challenge

and this month we are looking for the use of cardboard

in the steam/grunge/industrial style.

Here's my Canvas Make.

There's lots going on here starting with a blank canvas.

Added gesso and then steampunk stenciled my background, the

required cardboard (corrugated)

and placing of elements of all sorts from my stash.

I then went on my merry way with colours

after I had added black gesso.

Powders from Lindy's Magical's, Sprays,

Nuvo and Brusho Powders.

Finished with lots of  Art Alchemy Waxes

and sentiment from Tim Holtz.

Here's a few  a few close ups!

I am enjoying the challenge of steampunk and I admire

 and am in awe of the talent of my Team Mates.

Pop over and see for yourselves. 

Be like me and just jump right in and see how creative you can be

and add to our Gallery. You could be a Prize Winner

from one of our Generous Sponsors!
