Rock Star!

This image of Mr. V. The Rock Star! that my daughter-in-law sent me obviously calls for a bit of grunge and lots of gears… The February kit from Tres Jolie was the perfect source for both.

*******************************************************************

 

 I tore the 13 @rts Shades of Black paper into several pieces and layered them with alternate sides facing up and added scraps of the Countless Love sheet, along with a bit of 7 Gypsies packaging here and there before adhering my photo.

Next came the layers of gears along with a few brackets – all resin pieces from Prima. I added the Iron Fence sticker from 7 Gypsies (the source of that packaging) to one side.

 I added a couple of feathers from the Dark Romance package of flowers to embellish the gears, then the silver trinket that I toned down with Metallique Wax.

To complete the grunge, I splattered my page with a few of the concentrated watercolors that were included in the Mixed Media kit.

Family

It’s been a while since I’ve done some scrapping; I’ve been doing the Christmas thing – cards and cookies and decorating and shopping… Time to get back into taking out my photos and supplies and creating a layout or two.

I’m trying to make a dent in my hoard and so I’ve dug into my pattern papers and found this sheet from the Nature Walk collection by 7 Dots. I think it provides a perfect rustic background for this photo of the grandchildren striking a pose at the Christmas tree farm.

I’m also determined to lighten the pile of chipboard; I found this one that scrappy friend Rae Moses gave me some time ago. I wanted to be able to reassemble the pieces after altering the “chain” part with rust paste, so I simply colored the outer and inner parts with black ink.

The background layers are from a few Kaisercraft papers and a few remnants of sticker sheets from 7 Gypsies.

I embellished the corner with a Finnabair washer and a tangle of thread.

The background splatters are part of the paper pattern. The title is from a Heidi Swapp sticker collection.

As always, I want to thank you for peeking into my blog; your visits mean a lot to me.
