2. Add tissue paper using gel medium
3. Add second layer of tissue paper and gel medium
4. Create tissue paper "lumps" using gel medium
5. Cover all tissue paper with a layer of white gesso
6. Add two coats of blue paint (custom color)
7. Use modeling paste and stencil, then "color" with Smooch Spritz
8. Add modeling paste "smear," then stamp and rub with mica powder
9. Glue on micro beads, add mica powder, Smooch, and Smooch Spritz to areas of the canvas
10. Add sticker letters
11. Add wings and clock
12. Add other elements
One of my layers is a strip of modeling paste, which I added with a putty knife. I stamped the Numbers image with black ink onto the DRY paste. Once the ink was dry, I rubbed the paste with mica powder. I love that it looks like old plaster.
I stamped the clock image (Art Warehouse Clock) onto cardstock with Watermark ink. I then embossed the numbers with silver and gold embossing powder. I embossed the clock hands with black pigment ink and clear embossing powder.
I created a "lumpy" canvas by painting over tissue paper. Most of my lumps are hidden under the other items that I glued to the top, but you can see a bit of it here. I added some metal items, which I "antiqued" with white paint. My favorite part is the fact that the knob fit perfectly into the hole at the bottom of my metal keyhole. So Steampunk-y!
Here is a close-up of how I used the modeling paste and a stencil to add some raised numbers. You can see just a bit peeking through. I "colored" them with Smooch Spritz once the paste was dry.

Time Is Precious by Gini Williams Cagle
A week or so ago, I had finished the base of this canvas – it was covered with embossing powders, pastes and sprays, but had no final decorations added to it. I decided to add some steampunk elements to finish it out. ~Gini
Crumple tissue paper and run through Xyron 5” Creative Station to apply adhesive to the surface. Tear pieces of the paper and lay onto the canvas. Cover the entire canvas this way. Paint a layer of gesso over the tissue paper and allow to dry. Rub the watermark ink over the high spots of the canvas and heat emboss with the dark blue powder. Spritz with mists. Randomly stamp the watermark ink across the canvas and sprinkle with the light blue powder and heat emboss. Mist again. Use a stencil template to apply embossing paste in a diamond pattern. While wet, sprinkle with embossing powder, and heat set immediately. This will cause the embossing paste to bubble some. Add another layer of mists and more random embossing powder. Stamp the sentiment and the clock onto tissue paper with watermark ink, and heat emboss with a black powder. Glue onto the canvas and spray heavily with the mists and allow to air dry. Die cut the Steampunk elements and rub with the watermark ink, and heat emboss 3 layers of powder. Apply to the canvas.
