It's week 8 already & the technique challenge is "InkedGrunge"
on pg 39 of
Tim Holtz new book
A COMPENDIUM OF CURIOSITIES
I had so much fun doing this tag & I'm really pleased with how it turned out!
I used Tumbled Glass-Pumice Stone-Black Soot Distress Inks then
a coating of Rock Candy Distress Stickles on the Grunge Board wings

ReplyDeleteOMG!! This is awesome! Love the colors and everything about it!
ReplyDeleteHoly cats, this is SO COOL, Nancy! Spectacular laying going on here, and what great imagery, too! Love the beautifully-inked butterfly wings, and the vintage lady with her winged friends. Perfect use of those Idea-ology pieces, too-- I like the spinner pointed straight toward the flying clock.
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of piece that makes you want to create a story to go along with it! Well done. :-)
this is an amazing steam piece... I am waiting for my G45 Steampunk Debutant paper to come in the mail.... ugh... I'm not very patient... love all the detail and the wings just set the whole piece off perfect...
