*****Let's begin our project, shall we?*****
1. First, you will want to lay down a nice layer of acrylic paint and let that dry
2. Next, you will use your stencil and run some texture paste through it
3. Once that is dry, splatter some black gesso to the background adding interest
4. Now take all your chipboard pieces and emboss them
5. Then you will want to distress the edges a bit with some black ink
6. Now dab the top layers of texture paste with some lighter colored acrylic paint
7. Add your distressed chipboard pieces to the surface of your piece using your adhesive
8. Now paint your resin pieces with black gesso and lightly distress them with wax
9. Finishing touches are to add some wax to the edges of the piece and a quote
*****That's it, now you have a steampunk-inspired time piece!*****
*****Here are some close-ups for you to enjoy!*****
