Leslierahye's 3rd Annual Very Spooky Steampunk Halloween Blog Hop - October 26th

Welcome to

Very excited to join Mz. Leslierahye today.  We've been blog hopping together from the beginning and want to thank her for being such and active inspiration in my life.  Since we've met via internet we just clicked and our eclectic sense of designs and creations just gelled.  So I am honored to and humbly thankful being here.

New changes ladies and gents (if any out there lol).  I think I've found my niche and am going to run with it a big bounds.  No turning back. I've held myself back for too long.  I'm excited and hope that you will join me in my new journey in my life.

Enough of all that.  Let's start this blog hop.  Well, let me tell you when it came to this final design I was gearing towards making something totally different.  I saw a pic somewhere on the web (ha I said web - tells ya'll something) of this bad ass tree and one of the techniques was dripping hot glue on the branches.  Can you believe I cannot remember the web site.  I thought linked with her for new inspiration and for the life of me cannot find it.  Most of the times I print out the image and website reference to give individuals their shout out and thank them for being such an inspiration...  Just can't find it. So... I came up with what I could remember and caught my eye in the first place and designed this.

Steampunk Haunted Candles

I have see many friends and YouTubers creating dimensional wonders with Graphic 45, Pion, Prima Marketing, DCWV, BoBunny and the list goes on and on.  I've come to realize I cannot buy EVERYTHING that comes out.  Hey I'm feeling the notches in the belt and it's way too tight to get brand new. Many things you may see will be years and seasons ago and I'm okay with that.  I must admit that I look around my craft room and have plenty that would last me till the day I die.  I may go out for the necessary tools or replenishment but to have that "I gotta have the latest" days of impulse buys has diminished tremendously. Enough of  that...

I like to recycle so I kept paper towel rolls and had a foam board I wasn't using and cut a circle created the base board overed with the DCWV Tattered Times. I used white light chipboard and covered it with foil tape (my fav tool in my work areas) ran them through my Big Shot using a varity of Tim Holtz embossing folders

I brushed some Jaguard paints and black gesso. Blasted heat to them and wiped them down with a baby wipe to reveal the faux grungy industrial metal effect. I arranged my rolls and hot glued them to the base.

Oh! The fun part is dripping the hot glue around the rim to give the illusion of melted wax.

I pulled out my dies and started cranking and punching. By the way cheese cloth has become close friend lately. It's a pretty diverse piece of material from the kitchen to the craft room. I also had the opportunity to use things I had not had the chance to play with . Bad Jessica (in third person voice) - I am totally kidding and I hope my sense of humor doesn't offend anyone.  Call me a geek. lol.

I found some skulls and a mini coffin in my wonderland stash.  I love Tim Holtz dies that has the little tricker treaters and rows of houses - Instead used a fun Fiskar's border punch that went on clearance 2 seasons ago. Works for me. Number washi tape from a dollar bind at Michael's

Mulberry flowers from stash

I also enjoy the use of  Stampedous Essential Fran-tage Embossing Kit 

I hope you are enjoying my creation and having a blast hoppin. 

I have yet to pick a winner for my last hop and I apologize for that.  I will announce a winner of the steampunk wreath next week.  I'm giving away this fun project for your goulish halloween decor.

Leslierahye'sScorchin' Hot Summer Steampunk Celebration Blog Hop 2♥13 - July 1st

Welcome

hosted by Leslierahye

If I can alter something that people would discard you know

I would do it in a heart beat

in my last posting I created a steampunk dress form wall decor

for the International Fairy Day

I used the frame the wings came from

painted with Tim Holtz Distress paints and Distress Stains

used UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) and Heat Inks in the melting pot

placed the textured Gear textured Tread down 

and placed my chipboard facing down on top of textured tread to get the imprint

to show on the other side

 I added silver and white rub-n-buff on top of 

texture to give it that pop

I used Labatt's Blue Canadian beer cans to cut out the flowers

I am happy with the results

 INGREDIENTS

want2scrap - wicked wings chipboard

Ranger - Clear UTEE (Ultimate Thick Embossing Enamel)

Ranger - Heat It Inks for UTEE Red and Blue

Ranger - Melt Art Textured Threads - Gears
