I've used embossing folders for the background and rubbed them with silver gilding wax. I've got a very old set of metallic rub-ons which are nearing the end of their life and very difficult to find these days. The images themselves are cut out from grunge paper. I did think I should embellish it a bit more but decided I was happy with things as they were.
I did add some dimension by layering the wings...
and here....
Entered for this week's Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge which is "Fly."

Thanks for visiting me, dear Carol, that way I could hop over and see what you are working on... Looking at your profile I feel an understanding for yo. I too feel that life has changed through blogging. Meeting all these creative spirits, and even communicating with them, is very inspirational. Your work too gives me a lot to see. Your steampunk canvases are so well made... I love the olours and the texture! Have a creative day (so you don't get itchy ;-)).
Greets,
Manu
Oh my, sorry, the word was "twitchy" not "itchy"...
That is a great one! I really love it. Congrats.
LOve your work! Monochrome is fantastic!
Now I really love this, Carol!!
Those stamps work so well with the backgrounds chosen. I totally love embossing whether it be heat or dry. I just can't get enough and have a rather large folder collection!
Fabulous Steampunky art Carol! And I love the embossed background :)
Hi Carol... Sorry I'm so late visiting this, but so glad I've caught it now, I love it!! Fabulous hanging - each panel is really cool, and together they are just wonderful. A really great make.
Sounds like you had a great day at Ally Pally - PA's definitely the best place to hang out!! Thank you for your lovely comment.
