Valentine Steampunk Photo Holder
Supplies Used:
| Artist Trading Block (ATB) | Nylon Throw Away Brush |
| Terry Sproul's Mixers (Bronze & Pearl Green) | Die Cut Frame and Flowers |
| 3D Crystal Lacquer (Clear) | Sparkplug |
| Gears and Brads Plastic Knob | Gauge Camel Tin |
 Step 1: Paint your ATB with both the bronze, and the green mixer. Repeat until you achieve the desired color you like and set aside to dry. |  Step 2: Clean and then paint the base of the tin (set aside the lid for another project). Set aside to dry. |
 Step 3: Assemble your lid to the base of the ATB--turn the knob over and attach with a washer and a screw to the tin and the base of the ATB. |  Step 4: Drill a hole big enough for the gauge add adhesive and insert it into the block. |
 Step 5: Drill a hole for the sparkplug. Add adhesive and insert into the hole. |  Step 6: Once your gauge and sparkplug are secured and dry. Lightly paint with the mixers. |
Textured Frame Step 7: Set the die cut frame onto a piece of plastic and paint one side with the bronze mixter and let it dry. |  Step 8: Next paint a coat of the green mixer over the bronze. |
 Step 9: Before the green layer is dry press a piece of textured paper on top of the wet frame and carefully lift off and allow to dry. |  Step 10: Once dry follow my gold leafing pen process I used previously (HERE). Next add 2-3 coats of clear 3D Crystal Lacquer and allow to dry. Step 10A: Follow the above process for the die cut flowers-omit the clear lacquer coats. |
 Step 11: Assemble your frame with the picture and add any other embellishments you wish to add. |  Here's the backside of the ATB showcasing the steampunk flowers with the gears added. |
Oh, this is amazing!
