Hello again friends! Today's post is for
Frilly and Funkie - it's the Funkie week to play in our
Tic Tac Toe challenge. For this piece, I chose the left to right diagonal Metal, Metallic Stains and a Button. I based it on a jumbo tag that I had done the Crumpled Kraft Suede technique on. LOVE this technique which is new to me. It makes a wonderful background for a project. I used two different Artistic Outpost sets for this tag. The background was stamped mostly with the Industrial Backgrounds set and the top layer stamps are mostly from Diesel Punk. I did use an old, old Hero Arts Happy Birthday stamp, mostly because that was the only one I had small enough to fit on the tickets.
If you double click on the photograph, you can see the metallic stains. I used Tarnished Brass, which I blotted small spots on my craft sheet and then rubbed the tag over it. It just stained the high points and made a nice pattern, which of course I covered up. My metal is the metal grid which was originally silver, but I rubbed embossing ink on it and then heat embossed Black Soot Distress EP on it. I used two TH ticket dies and the buttons are vintage ones from my stash.
This is a really fun challenge and I hope you will play along with us over at
Frilly and Funkie. Be sure to stop by to see what the Funkie girls have to share!

ReplyDeleteOh, cool - that's the line I've just played - with completely different results! LOVE this tag, and all its brilliant masculine images. Never really known what one might do with the ticket strips, but now I can see what a great element they make used in such a great way.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you're still getting all this done, given the house situation - you're a marvel!
