All aboard for steampunk

I was hoping to get something done this week for Order of the opus gluei 101 'get steamy' steampunk challenge (I'd only made something the day before the challenge was announced, but didn't want to cheat and link that). Anyway, today's challenge on Soartful is also steampunk and this is the picture that was given:

So I used this as my base on which to add digi pictures that I'd got saved on computer - changing each one to black and white and/or negative and then fading the edges so that they fitted on to the given frame. This is what it looked like at that stage:

I then superimposed one of my favourite digital pictures of the clock with the railway line over the top of everything else, changing it to negative/black and white and fading to make it semi-transparent. So this is what I finished up with:

Sorry that you can see a bit of pink in places - that's not actually on the digi, it's because those parts are transparent enough to let the blog background show through (nothing I can do about that).

This is also for:

Scrapbook sisters 36: black and white
Altered Alice chapter 4 week 3: time
Stamps R us: goin' digital
2 sisters 40: use a digi

  6. Aw, Hazel, since it was only posted the day before you could have used it for our challenge. We're not that strict! HOWEVER, I love this and am glad you took the time to make it for Opus Gluei! Thank you for participating in our challenges.

    I need to stop being such a wimp and try digi more often, the results are very cool. I like all the elements you've added and how well they work together!
