Gecko Galz has this wonderful Monthly Challenge February Steampunk Love.
I am in love with this project.
Used images from the collage image set Steam Dream Tin Toppers from Gecko Galz.
The process of creating the rust effect on the tin was long but so worth it. Lots of layers of alcohol inks, distress paints, acrylic paints and embossing ink and embossing powders; and of course, lots of heat.
The
rusted elements were so much fun to create, well chemistry helped a lot. Placed
some nails, screws, and paper fasteners in a solution of salt and vinegar and left
them overnight. removed them from the solution in the morning, dried them and
place in a bowl with hydrogen peroxide. Several hours letter I had lots
of rusted pieces to work with.
Added Note: I was told that this creation seemed inspired by EPCOT Center.
Hope you like it.
A stunning Steampunk themed tin with gorgeous artwork. You've used fabulous techniques to achieve the tin's amazing rusty appearance and details.
