Just thought I'd pop up a blog post while I am watching the Grand Final. The Mighty Hawks aren't a show this year, so I am really pretty neutral about the outcome - kinda leaning toward the Crows, but would like to see the Tigers win a flag after so long too.
Anyway, back to scrapping. Today I am sharing another layout I did a while ago:
I used the gorgeous "Believe" kit from Scrappy Chat Designs. This paper is from Bo Bunny - and the range is full of grungy deliciousness.
I started by using a bit of texture paste and the "Subway" stencil from TCW. Next I used some Lindy's Stamp Gang Mist in Cattail Copper Brown. This colour can be found in a set at Scrap Matrix here. I then added some blue colour to blend in with the blue denim in my photo. I did this by using the fabulous Distress Oxide Ink in Broken China. I applied the ink pad to my craft sheet, sprayed it with water then sponged on the colour. For extra layers, I stamped my Carabelle Studios "Grunge Metre" stamp randomly on the background until I was satisfied with the result.
Once I was happy with the background, I prepared my embellishments. I embossed the chipboard chain and chicken wire with Lindy's Queen of Sheba Silver Embossing Powder. With the chipboard cogs, I painted them in Dusty Attic Chocolate Brown, then added some Dusty Attic Rusting Powder.
I LOVE the rusting effect this powder has on chipboard - it makes it look so real!!
Then I put the whole thing together, layering my chipboard cogs with metal cogs and clocks, and some metal numbers as. Finished it off with some Finnebair microbeads. Here are some closeups:
I found a metal cog that fit perfectly over the top of this Finnebair Fob metal.
The paint/Rust Powder effect makes the chipboard cogs look so realistic.
That's it from me for now. I hope you enjoy Grand Final weekend, and also fit some scrapping in!
Have fun,
