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.
