Quick giveaway alert: Webster's Pages HERE. Check it out!
Today's card is inspired by Simon Says Stamp and Show: Challenge Rustification! Check out the challenge HERE.
First, I took some pages from an old hymnal and distress inked them with a variety of Tim Holtz Distress Inks including Vintage Photo, Tea Dye, Peeled Paint, Old Paper, and Crushed Olive. No particular order or method, just trying to get a "rusty" look.
I then misted the chipboard embellishment (which was won in a giveaway...don't even know what to call it) with a brown mist and then some Black Magic. Didn't know how that would look, but not bad. I then inked on top of that after it had dried with some rust-colored and yellow-colored ink spots...not that you can see it in the picture.
The bottom of the card needed something, so I added some fall/rustic-looking flowers.
I love that the "songs" on the hymnal pages are "Thanksgiving" and "The Changing Year." So I guess this would be a fall/Thanksgiving type card.
You should enter the challenge. It was a lot of fun rusting it up!
Go get your craft on!
