Go Where I've Never Been Steampunk Tag

This month Altered Pages has teamed up with Leaky Shed Studio - a maker of fine chipboard and cardstock embellishments for the scrapping, mixed media and card making world.


I was so excited when I found out I was going to be able to work with the Ornithoper (pronounced  [awr-nuh-thop-ter].  It has such a great Steampunk look and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it...


I started off by inking up the tag using a vareity of inks.  I then stamped several fun images from Altered Pages onto the tag.  I then added a dash of metal leafing here and there (adhering it using Duo Adhesive).  After the tag was dry I added the inked gear, travel ephemera, Dream Bingo card, sentiment and the fun Ornithoper!  


I added a few additional embellishments to the tag...inked flowers, a beautiful wing charm and topped it all off with a bit of sari silk ribbon.


For additional detailed information on how I created this tag check out my blog post -

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
