Today I have another page for Art Journal Journey's challenge "In Gear" . This one is featuring some of my older stamps which I have had for some years, mainly from the time when I was heavily into Steampunk.
I started this on a sheet of 8" x 8" buff coloured cardstock which I then cut down slightly so that I could stick it into my 8" square Journal. Using a selection of Victorian advertisement rubber stamps I covered the whole sheet using both Versafine Clair Pinecone and Acorn inks, first and second generation to give it an "old" appearance. Next I stamped a couple of images using Nocturne ink including the image of the Steampunk guy wearing goggles on a separate piece of white card which I fussy cut out.
I decided I wanted to add a little colour into this page and so I used Elements Pinecone ink to lightly colour a small piece of card onto which I stamped the baggage check image. Finally I added some cogs and wheels that I had die cut in black cardstock.
I hope some of you will be joining us at Art Journal Journey this month but please read the 'dreaded rules' at the top of their page firstly.
Addendum: I know my theme is "In Gear" and not 'Steampunk" but as the two are closely related I thought I would give you this link which I just came across yesterday in Pinterest. I haven't read it myself as yet but it might be useful to some of you.
