MIXED MEDIA/ GRUNGE/ DISTRESSED themed projects .

2Crafty and CSI have joined forces to solve case files .
this layout is case file #83 
 I am on both teams, therfore I am a double agent this month !!
I loved these colors and wanted to showcase the chippies
 with a masculine /mixed media themed feel and look. 

These colors have such a nautical energy to them and reminded me of our many sailing adventures.

'UNFORGETTABLE'

another layout combining 2Crafty and CSI as a double agent .
I followed Em's sketch and added a thin strip of rich rust fabric to the color theme . 
 
'BEACH'

inked in paprika and sage. 
the watch face is also inked with paprika and sage.
 I added some metal time pieces and painted crackle paint in order to secure these tiny pieces 

altered with gesso, ink and crackle paint .
I twisted the frayed fabric and machine stitched to the page.

My final layout for this month is also grunge, showcasing a pic I adore .
My Grandie Ella Jai with her Dad , on the mighty motorbike .
'HAPPINESS'
 I just adore this pic of Ella Jai and her Dad, Jair

The chippies are inked with Tim Holtz distress ink /rusty hinge ,
and dabbed with turquoise Versa color ink when dry .
Finally I coated all chipboard with Tim Holtz crackle paint 
to create an old rusty look and feel to the items.
thanks for popping by and having a look at my work 
bye for now until next time

  4. Heather, I could spend all morning drooling over these and still find something new tucked away in just the right spot. Your attention to detail is outstanding, your choice of embellies inspired and then the whole piece comes together like a symphony. To quote C.J. Dennis "I dips me lid" :) :) :)
