Since my son turned 18 today, I had to grunge up his card, and had a lot of fun doing so!
My design inspiration came from Sketch #596 at Sketch Saturday, which I made horizontal.
I started by coloring the background with Lindy's Gang (Sassy Sapphire) Magical, (Bratwurst Brown) Magical Shaker, and (Tiffany Lou Blue and Marigold Yellow Orange) Sprays. Then I applied Prima Black Gesso to the Tim Holtz (Dot Fade) Stencil. Before attaching the silver eyelets, I embossed them with LG (Sassy Sapphire) Embossing Powder, also used along the card edges.
The other embellishments are made from chipboard and paper clay using the Finnabair (Mechanica) Mould, and given a coat of black gesso.
To rust them up, I applied Prima Rust Pastes (Brown and Red), and Patina Effect Pastes (Blue and Mint Green).
The sentiment was embossed with Lindy's Gang (Sassy Sapphire) EP over a strip of chalkboard washi tape.
The other washi tape is from the Simple Stories (Simple Vintage Traveler) Collection.
Thanks for looking!
