After days of prepping different portions of this project, I was finally able to complete this alter project today. \u00a0If you are interested in the faux metal techniques I used on the Diemond Dies Steampunk Gears*, please CLICK HERE<\/a> and HERE<\/a>. \u00a0If you are interested in how I created my name plate at the front with Tim Holtz Grunge Board, please see this\u00a0TUTORIAL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The colors I chose to color the two Steampunk Fairy images, which you can download for free on the Digi Page<\/a>, came from a\u00a0Jolees Boutique Steampunk hearts stickers pack. \u00a0The hearts were fantastic, and helped carry the color scheme through the project without distracting from the focal point Steampunk Fairy images.<\/p>\n

For the red violet haired Steampunk Fairy, I used a paper from the DCWV One Upon a Time paper stack to paper piece the dress and wings, shading with W1 and W3 directly on the patterned paper to add depth. \u00a0I used the following Copic colors. Hair: YR00, RV10, RV34, RV66, RV69 and E79. Fishnet stockings and gloves: W1, 3, 5, and 7. Eyes: YG 95, 97. \u00a0Boots and goggles: C1, 3, 5, 7, 9. \u00a0Skin: E50, 51, and 53 with R30 for blush. \u00a0The “skeleton” of her wings were colored with W9. \u00a0I added a lot of shimmer to the full body of her wings with clear Wink of Stella.<\/p>\n

For the purple haired Steampunk Fairy, I used paper from the DCWV Tie-Dyed Stack and used the following Copic colors. \u00a0Hair: V15, V17, BV08 and 10o. \u00a0Eyes B34 and B97. \u00a0Fishnet stockings and gloves: W1, 3, 5, and 7. \u00a0Boots and goggles: C3, 5, 7, 9. \u00a0Skin: E 50, 51, and 53, with R30 for blush. I added shimmer to the “skeleton” of her wings and the straps and lace on her dress after I colored them with W9 with clear Wink of Stella.<\/p>\n

<\/a>For both Steampunk Fairies, I added shine and gloss to the lenses of the goggles, the eyes and high boots with Glossy Accents.<\/p>\n

I also added my name to the front of the storage unit with my Tim Holtz Grunge Board typeset style letters so that the unit can double as a name sign. You can find the tutorial for how to use those letters from the kit HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n
