Dear reader
Welcome to another post using the Steampunk pets stamps and stencil I designed for Funky Fossil in the UK. Any word that is underlined will take you directly to the item on the Funky Fossil site.
For the base of this page I decided to repeat the stencil, but make it fade out from left to right using vintage photo distress oxide ink.
Below you can see how you overlap the last set of paw prints to continue the repeat pattern. To make it fade, you just don't use as much ink on your brush and press lighter.
I also used some of what I trimmed off as strips of the bones on the right hand side of the page.
Next, I made all the elements for the page using the frame die set behind a stenciled paw print, a piece of box and some hessian/burlap behind the torn box for added texture.
The brown stenciled piece with the dog stamped on it was made using photo paper and applying brown alocohol ink onto the stencil, then printing it onto the paper. I then tore the shape I wanted and inked the edges with black soot distress ink.
The little white stamped characters and stenciled paw print were done on shrink plastic with jet black archival ink. The holes were punched before I heated and shrunk the plastic.
The laser cut gears were sprayed with black soot distress ink.
I put a little gold wax on the die cut frame and the gears all on the right hand side only to add "highlights"
I added some black foam tape under the shrink plastic to give it hight.
The stencilled shrink plastic piece was used as a "dog tag" with a ump ring that goes through a piece of hessian/burlap that is threaded into the paper.
A different view of all the layers below.
I also wrapped some of the hessian/burlap strings around the photo of my little bat eared dog called Chelsea.
I also used a jump ring on this dog to attach it to the hessian.
