I took an mdf cog (approx 12 cm) applied grunge paste through a stencil, dried it and added scrunched tissue for more texture.
I coloured it with various colours of distress paints but forgot to take a photo. Then I swiped it over with little black dress fresco, I prefer to use this instead of the black soot as it isn't as runny. Then I applied quite a bit of pewter treasure gold.
I really rubbed it in to all the nooks and crannies to show up the textures on the cog.
Then I took some wooden and chipboard pieces and using the same foam pad as used for the cog, I coloured them. I also added the 3 colours of metallics. Outlined the edges and stamped in little black dress.
And then once I started adding embellishments, I couldn't stop - lol. It seemed such a pity to cover up all that gorgeous texture, but I love how it's turned out.
I added cogs, gears, spinners, brads, mini wired coat hanger, prestuds, handle
Metal zip, screw top, more prestuds, Roman numerals, metal wire 's'
Over at Our Creative Corner, they have a steam punk tic tac toe challenge. Although I've used about half of the ingredients on the grid, my actual line is wings, gears and wire.




No wonder you like how it turned out. I likes a lot too
