Steampunk multimedia

So, I decided to try something very different today. I've been watching a lot of shows on multimedia, and becoming extremely interested in the whole steampunk thing.
Unfortunately, I didn't take any pics during making it. But, I'll try to explain as best I can how I made it, and what materials I used.
Firstly, I painted the MDF art board in a layer of white gesso. Once that had dried I put the stencil over half of the board and spread the texture sand paste through it. Then I painted a layer of the acrylic paint over the whole thing.
Once that had dried I applied some distress ink to a few areas, and highlighted areas with the gilding wax, especially the textured area.
Meanwhile, I die cut the cogs and gears onto kraft card, and stained them with the distress ink, then added bits of the acrylic paint and gilding wax. I also did this to the wooden embellishments and the paper flowers.
I then stamped "To your own art be true" to the board.
Using Collal 3D glue gel, I added all the components.
It was a very messy make, but very enjoyable indeed 😊
