steampunk angel

Yesterday I got cracking with some of my new supplies.
I wanted to use the technique whereby you wipe away ink with a damp babywipe through a stencil, therefore I needed to gesso my page first.
Unfortunately the gesso dulls the otherwise so vibrant Dylusions. (but in this case was just perfect for that autumn feel)
Here you can see the difference between Dylusions on a gessoed surface (on the left) or not


Creating some interest in the background by removing some ink through a leaf stencil and by adding some walnut DI through the same stencil (so 2 different ways to use a stencil)



The page begged for some script stamping, so out came the stamp with one of my new stamp pads, dew drop brilliance red gold.
I also went around the edges of the page with the stamp pad.
I like the size of the pads, they are easy to hold in your hand.



As a focal point I used the steampunk angel from Viva décor and heat embossed it with Halloween  embossingglitter from WOW!
After a search through my drawer filled with embellishment I found the perfect match



I would like to enter this page for following challenges:
The Craft Barn weekly challenge: stencils/masks
The Craft Barn calendar challenge for September: brown andleaves.
