Once again I am combining challenges. Linda's CCC task this week is Rusted Grunge which is on page 45 of T!m's book and my personal challenge to interpret each of T!m's 12 tags of Christmas for 2010. The technique has been applied to the heart to give a nice rusted appearance.
The door hanger print and the reds (print & plain) come from an old Club Scrap kit called Chocolate Shoppe. I actually took mine from a remix released just a year or so ago. The button, flower, mesh and twine are all plucked from my stash of goodies. The LOVE is my interpretation of Tim's movers and shapers die which I've designed and cut with my Silhouette.
This "handsome devil" is my SO as a child (isn't he precious?) I took a scan of an old photo and added devil horns (which you can't even see) and colored his shirt red in Photoshop. I coated corrugated cardboard with silver paint, then a layer of crackle medium and finally top-coated with a red. I REALLY need to invest in some good quality paints (like Claudine's), but again, i used what i had on hand. The flames and pitchfork were found online and cut with my QK Silhouette and the Grungeboard letters were painted with the same silver paint under the red. Although you can't tell it, i inked the mesh with mustard seed and the handsome is inked with spiced marm. There are probably many more layers and such i could add, but I'm tired and I think I'm afraid of ruining what I do have. TFL
