Hello!
Our March challenge is, as usual...
We welcome all types of projects (except digitally created) and
encourage everyone to join us each month, whether this is your very
first make, or you are an experienced maker, and share your creations.
Show us your tags, cards, canvas, Artist Trading Cards/Coins, art
journal, altered objects - whatever you can imaging that fits our
steampunk/industrial theme. We are in awe of your creative imaginations
and use of materials, and look forward to each challenge to see where
your creative muse took you.
I was inspired to create a new mixed media Art Journal page with a lot of textures and structures.
and I really wanted to try my new soft mould 'Time Machine' from Stamperia.
Tips & Tricks
you can use various basic materials,
Soft Clay Extra light from Stamperia is recommended
But I had heard that it can also work with acrylic groove sealant from the DIY store.
I just had to try that and used white and black groove sealant .
Use a standard cartridge and apply the compound to the mould with a spatula,
preferably not too thin
then let it dry for 48 hours, a long waiting time,
but the mass must be completely dry or it will be difficult to remove them in one piece.
and so I started to put the single parts together or layer them on top of each other
now it is up to your own creativity whether you use it as a
structural mat
or in individual parts.
You can cut out single parts but
also tear it with a little practice,
which I personally liked better.
I combined it with chipboards (Dusty Attic) and some cutout's from a Stamperia
paper collection 'Voyages Fantastiques'.
the parts are flexible and adapt to any surface shape, they can be
coloured
or just highlight the surface, like here with silver metallic
wax
some close up's
for me worked this replacement material very well
and I will try it soon on a round underground form
My teamies at SASPC have come up with many
inspiring and different versions
on this Steampunk/ Industrial challenge.
We are looking forward to see your new creations!
Happy Crafting!
