Altered Little Notepad - DT Project for Country View Challenges

Hello all, welcome to my blog!

This is my second project for the September challenge "metal" over at Country View Challenges!

There are some days left to join in with our challenge, remember, you can win a 20£ voucher for the shop! If you need inspiration, please visit the blog, my gorgeous teamies show you a bunch of wonderful projects.

Hallo zusammen, willkommen auf meinem Blog!

Heute zeige ich euch mein zweites Projekt für die September challenge bei Country View Challenges.

Ihr habt noch einige Tage Zeit um mit zu machen und könnt eine 20£ Gutschein für den shop gewinnen! Falls ihr mehr Inspiration möchtet, schaut doch auf den blog von CVC, dort findet ihr tolle Ideen, gestaltet von meinen Teamkolleginnen.

This time I altered a little note pad. I created a metallic surface and added a little metal frame. I´ve made a process video, so you can watch the steps I made while creating it.

Dieses Mal habe ich einen kleinen Notizblock verziert. Ich habe ihm eine metallische Oberfläche verpasst und auch ein kleines Metallrähmchen aufgeklebt. Wenn ihr wollt, könnt ihr gerne mein Video anschauen, dort seht ihr, wie ich es gemacht habe.

Some close ups:

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Danke fürs Reinschauen und einen schönen Tag!

Steampunk Tear-off Calendar for 2017

Hello all, nice to have you here!

First day of the New Year - wow, it´s 2017 already! Can you believe this?

I wish you a happy New Year!

Fitting to it, I want to share with you my Steampunk Tear-off calendar I made for the January challenge over at Country View Challenges. This month the theme is "Anything goes"! Easy, right?

I hope, you will share your artwork with us. You can win a 20£ gift voucher for the shop, so try your luck!

Here you can see, how it looked before:

I put away the calender and the note pad...

and primed the board with Gesso. then I primed the surface with cracking paste primer and added, after that was dry, a thick layer of moss green cracking paste.Into the wet paste I pressed metal gears, mini clock parts, metal flowers and some other parts. I left it to dry completely. - Look at this cracks!

Now I painted the surface with lasur gel in ebony to bring out the cracks and make everything come together.

The access I wiped off with a paper towel

Into the wet lasur gel I sprinkled rust powder and added rust medium in brown, rusted red and yellow. I put out on my terrasse over night and let me surprise with the result next morning..... and I loved it! =)

Here you can see the real rusted panel. Meanwhile I prepared some chipboard gears and a diecut clockface (sizzix Bigz Die,Tim Holtz Weathered Clock). I painted them with DecoArt Acrylic fluids in Paynes Grey, Prussian Blue Hue, Phtalo Turquoise, Cobalt Teal Hue and Quinacridone Gold. On top I smeared some gilding wax, onto the panel too to make some pieces stand out more.

Then I only had to put all pieces together. I used matte medium to make sure everything stays at it´s place. For some "bling" I added some "Say it in crystals" from Prima here and there - and ready!
