Wanting to play along with Scrapy Land's 'Favorite Colors' challenge, but so undecided as to what actually is my favorite color, I thought instantly of rust! I think that's a color!
When you closely at it, rust actually comprises many colors, some of which could be considered just the opposite of what I would call my favorite. I used DecoArt Texture Sand Paste and some of their Media fluid acrylics to get the rusty look of my Tim Holtz Weathered Clock. Oh, how I've missed my RUST!
The 'wood' panel is made following my tutorial here.
I know what you're thinking...that's not Tim's Weathered Clock! Oh, yes it is, and I couldn't repeat this cut again if I tried! I pulled it out of my stash when I was doing a clean out, and if I remember correctly this mis-cut when I rolled it through for a second pass. I thought it looked too cool to throw in the trash. Just another way to get more use out of your dies!
The Memory Box gears are also out of my stash and these were colored with Distress paints and embossing powders.
I used a Tim Holtz Debossing Folder (Documented) for 'Moments', Remnant Rubs, a Chit Chat sticker and a splash of Black Soot paint to finish this off.
Well, that's it for my second post of the day! Quite different from my abstract canvas I posted earlier today!
I'm sharing this one with the challenges it was specifically designed for:
-Scrapy Land Challenge #58-Favorite Colors I used Sizzix and Memory Box dies.
-Deep Ocean Challenge#146-"Anything New" How about a new way to use a die--by shredding it to bits in your Big Kick!
Thank you for dropping in today, and for the second time, if you came by earlier! I love reading your comments!
Hugs and Blessings!
Sara Emily
UPDATE: Yippee!

The rust is back - yay! No one does rust like you, Sara Emily! This is another amazing project! Love the look of the shiny wood against that rusty clock and it truly looks like a piece of rusted metal. I don't know how you do it, but it's perfection :-)

ReplyDeleteA fantastic card. Your rusty clock looks amazing - what a happy accident with the mis-cut that was. You've got the perfect touch with rusty textures and colours. The wood effect card is a fabulous backdrop.

If only I had continued reading your post, I could have saved myself some time. I saw the clock die, and thought, ok, that's not the same as mine. Spent a few minutes digging mine out to compare, then I Googled it, just to be sure. Jeepers creepers!!! Well what a happy accident my friend, because your mis-cut of the clock is better than the original!! You should send this one off to Timmy and tell him to remake the die! lol.
ReplyDeleteOK, back to the card. Holy amazing my friend! Your wood background is incredible and I can'e wait to have some time to check that out. Your rust on the clock is beyond amazing, I actually thought it was a metal embellishment at first! A crazy wicked work of art Sara!! Love it!! sending hugs :)
