Shattered Stains

Hi fiends, how crazy is this?  I have had this ready to post since Sunday for Linda Ledbetter's Compendium of Curiosities II challenge on Shattered Stains (page 48 in Tim Holtz's new Compendium of Curiosities II) and am just getting in under the wire to play in the challenge - ugh, this has been a crazy and stressful week!   This week's sponsor over at the Compendium of Curiosities challenge is Simon Says Stamp and they will be giving a $25 shopping spree to one lucky winner!

I made this awhile back for an Artistic Outpost release and have been waiting for just the right moment to share it.  This was the week and I almost missed it!  So here you go, just a fun little grungy project using London Elements and a few goodies from my Funkie Junkie boutique that you can find by clicking the thumb links below.  

Not a whole lot of cool stuff going on here.  Basically I sponged the back panel with Peeled Paint and then dragged it through puddle of Vintage Photo DI plus spritzed water on my craft sheet.  Then stamped the ledger sheet from Ephemera Backgrounds with white craft ink and a few of the images from the London Elements set in black archival ink.  I did the Shattered Stains with the clock face and Vintage Photo Distress Stain and added a few kraft goodies from my shop, plus rubbed white gesso over the twine for a shabby effect.  

That's it - let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks SO MUCH for stopping by!
