Create a striking steampunk-themed card featuring a fantastical airship design set against a vibrant yellow and lemon Brusho ink background. This project combines bold stamping techniques with fluid ink blending to achieve a dramatic, industrial-style finish. The layered composition includes a detailed steampunk stamp and coordinating sentiment for maximum visual impact.
Tap lemon yellow Brusho ink onto white cardstock using a brush. Build up the colour gradually with light tapping motions across the surface.

Add yellow Brusho ink over the lemon-coloured areas, blending the two colours together on the card. Use a brush or tool to spread and blend the ink.

Dry the background thoroughly using a heat gun. Start from one side and work across the surface, then finish by drying the back to prevent the card from curling.

Stamp the large steampunk airship image onto the dried yellow background using brown ink. Press firmly and evenly to ensure all the fine details of the design are captured clearly.
▶ watch this step (40:00)
If any areas of the stamped image appear faint, carefully re-stamp those sections to ensure the intricate steampunk design has good coverage throughout.
▶ watch this step (41:00)
Stamp a coordinating steampunk sentiment in the bottom right corner of your card using the same brown ink. The detailed stamp will complement the airship design and complete your steampunk scene.

Mount the stamped and coloured image onto black metallic card to create a border and add dimension to your finished design.
