Love Making Backgrounds with Citra Solv

July is here and time for another great Challenge over at Creative Artiste. 

Our theme is always

"Anything Mixed Media Goes"

Please make sure you use multiple mediums on your  projects.

This is my project for the month of July.  

I used Citra Solv on National Geographic papers to create my background for my project.  I torn several piece from different prints to create a pleasing background for my project.  I coated my project and glued my paper down with Gloss

Medium.

My next set was to add some stamped details to the paper using Rangers Archival ink in black to tie the different papers together. The stamp I used was Indigo Blu Bubbles Background. 

Closer look

 

The Steampunk man is a rubber stamp by Prima, part of the Bloom collection by Jamie Dougherty.  The man is called Quentin. I used Quentin's face but I added my own background of gears, clock and steampunk accessories in wood or foam cut with a die cutting machine. I also used a wire to run from his monocle and small copper coloured gears on his tie. .

The gears etc were either painted with Pentart paints or embossed with  Deep Impressions Chunky embossing enamels by Stampendous.
