Over to Renifeove to share how its been created.

Hello!

Today I have prepared for you a steampunk style calendar cover with a lot of gears and clocks.

First, the calendar was primed with black gesso, so that the surface would take paint better. Next, I glued the chipboard background with clocks with 3D Matte Gel and I also primed it with black gesso.

I put colours with Finnabair metallic paints, I chose paints in 'Rustic Brown', 'Steampunk Copper' and 'Midnight Sky'.

After creating the background, I composed a composition from gears and painted them with the same paints. I did the same with the Scrapiniec chipboard, but the main colour is 'Midnight Sky'.

At the end I added gold gears and Art Stones in two sizes, small and medium. I did not add many elements because the calendar should be useful and I did not want any element to brake (I wanted to add small light bulbs).

I highlighted the details with Prima Marketing wax in 'Rich Copper' and 'Vintage Gold' colours.

Calendar is a gift for my fiancé, he loves steampunk.
