I used similar colours to Linda but had different stamps and stencils in my supplies. I have used Mermaid, Snowflake, Nougat, Claret, Chocolate Pudding and Baltic Blue - just look at the mess on the craft mat!
Steampunk Peter and Paul (HP1107) were stamped on the Paperartsy Crackly paper and glued to the canvas, blending it into the canvas with more paint, and then I coloured some of the clock parts in the birds with Pewter fresco paint, and a mix of honey dew and mermaid (too opaque, so I wiped as much off as I could) Their crowns were painted with Old Gold.
I don't have the metallic glaze, so mixed satin glaze with old gold to highlight the textured area.
If you haven't seen Linda's, do go and see it, because that is beautiful! Still, it's all about trying new ideas, so I had a go.....!! Wonder what tomorrow's challenge will bring!

I have just realised I have never used these stamps yet, thank you for inspiring me to get them out. Love the texture on this piece , don't paint over it, one day you may add something to it at a later date that makes you happy. Tracy x
Oh it looks fab, I'll loving the subtle colours for a steampunk piece - fabulous stuff!
I agree with Virginia, you don't often see such a colour palette with steam punk. Don't paint over it, look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow. It's quite lovely.
Haven't found time to play yet!! Love your background! Hugs trace. X
