How To Create A Steampunk Heritage layout

 Hi all

I have created a mixed media layout of my Great Grandfather Albert. He was stationed in India during the war but other then that i dont know much about him. I used the Mechanical Illusion paper pad from Scrapberry;s.

I created the background by applying black gesso over the section where the photo will be placed. I then added a couple of stencils and spritzed with ink. Once dry i added a layer of metallic paint.

Next i started cutting up the sheets and cutting out the detailed sections and layered them up.

I used chipboard cogs and painted them with Decoart Texture Sand Paste to give them a rusty look. I then painted them with Quinacridone Gold and added a little Texture Fierro Iron.
