I have had a manic week but managed to get this little piece created with some of the gorgeous images from Altered Pages. I used a few different techniques on this one.
I began by choosing three images from Altered Pages Celestial Images collage printable
The two white card ATC cards were first stained with coffee and water and left to dry. With washi tape I bound the two ATC cards together.
I used text and steampunk background stamps and brown ink on top of the stain. After this dried I added watercolor patches on top of the stamped images for colour. Once dried the images were fussy cut and collaged onto the background on both the back and the front (one image each) and the center three images.

After the images were stuck down well enough and dried. I added more color with the paint. Added some scribbled border with a black pen, shading with the paints and white dots front, back and center using white gel pen.
I then added some crackle accents and dried. Finally adding some metallic rub on in gold for high lights.
I hope you enjoyed this, I had a ball creating this one and am already on to my next project.
