Creating Rusty backgrounds using distress products

Image
Hi friends! I am so excited about the new idea-ology product that Tim is releasing this year that I decided to sit down and create!  My favorite line of his is by far the idea-ology. Now Don't get me wrong, I couldn't create this rusty grunge without his distress line, but I love how the idea-ology brings it to life. 

This week's Monday challenge over at SSS is home decor. I don't typically enter challenges, but I decided to enter my projects this week.  


I created two process videos showing how this was put together. The first video focuses on creating a Rust background that you see on the voltage die. 



 The second video is how I used that die as my focal piece on my tags.  These tags are the ectetera tags from Tim Holtz and make great decor pieces. 

I created two voltage plates, so I was able to actually create two finished projects. I have them both hanging on my wall in my studio!

STAMPlorations Stencil Sunday - Keep Cozy

Image
Hi everyone! I am back sharing another easy design for the Stencil Sunday series over at STAMPlorations. This time I am using the Stencil called Crisscrossed.  


I used distress oxide vintage photo and a blending tool and softly brushed the ink through the stencil. I put more pressure on some areas than others so that it was not a constant design.


I used the stamp set called Snow Cozy to stamp the coffee cups onto circles that I punched out.  I colored the cups using Copic Markers and edged the circles using the distress oxide vintage photo.


I used the same stamp set to stamp the sentiments.  I added two pockets and punched a half circle in each to create pockets for my Circles. the thumb notched ensured that my images would show when they were in their "cozy" pockets. 



Be sure to check out the STAMPlorations blog post for details on how you can win a $15 Gift Card to the shop! 

Thanks for stopping by!
