Welcome to the first Artistic Outpost blog hop of the new year. This months theme is Designer’s Choice. I made some more mail art using the Steampunk stamp plate.
I used an manilla envelope and painted on some gesso and Distress stain in my background. My stamped images were embossed in Black Soot Distress Powder. I love how they turned out. I layered all my elements and then sprayed and added a bit more gesso.
I stamped my background stamp from the Background Elements.

Gosh this is wonderful Kate. Love all those layers. Not sure how I missed this post? I like Lynne’s comment – I just F11 – easier!
BTW I had to giggle at your “puppy” comment – Dobby is 11 now! He does still think he is a puppy though!
