Lori is on Youtube!



This tutorial features a fun sheet of steampunk stamps by artist Brigid Ashwood. I have used "Steam Bee" and the five gear stamps that come with the sheet. ( It also has a gorgeous steampunk butterfly not on the tutorial). 

 I demonstrate how to create the distressed background as well as how I created the dimensional gears under the bee. The eyes were made using micro-beads with Glossy Accents and I colored them a little with a Copic marker for some contrast. (E29) The embossing folder used was Cuttlebug Clockworks, and the chipboard gears were cut from Gadget Gears by Tim Holtz Alterations (Sizzix). The seam binding was colored with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Inks. 
 I added some ribbon and a Tim Holtz Word band that says," possibility begins with imagination." 
The set is Brigid Ashwood sheet 4 Plate 105, or you can purchase Steam Bee separately at www.sweetpeastamps.com.

  3. Your creation is just STUNNING. WOW. I would see this creation (and if not a stamper of a long number of years), would NEVER believe this was done with rubber stamps! WOW. Amazing Lori.

  4. Lori, this is amazing. I love how you have done the background with the use of a basic colouring crayon. The cogs with the embossing/stamping/rubb and buff are brilliant. I'm always on the look-out for mediums that give this effect but don't smell like the rubb and buff and the Creative Expressions Gilding Wax. Thanks for sharing this with us. Brilliant. Kym xxx
