Grungy Time Tutorial

Hi friends and welcome to my blog this Monday! It's the last day of April and this month went past so fast. Today we are celebrating Walpurgis Night in Sweden and we will go and look at a bonfire.

This week we have a Time Out (time related) challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog, and it is the last week for our April guest designer Paula Roomer aka PaNaRoo.

I was inspired by this Tim Holtz sentiment stamp about time, which is a favorite of mine. The page is done in my Dina Wakley Media Journal, on one of the kraft pages. I aimed for a grungy look this week, and there are lots of different clocks on the page.

I had already added the stenciled dots on this page, when I wanted to use up leftover paste a while ago. The paste was colored with Dina's metallic Medieval paint. I stamped various clock stamps here and there.

The clocks were inked with Distress Inks.

The background was stamped here and there with a script stamp.

I wanted touches of red on the background and stamped red paint, with the lid of the paint bottle.

Black paint was splattered on the page. I also added some dry brushed silver paint.

Foil tape was adhered to cardstock and dry embossed. I was planning to have used another embossing folder, namely the Pocket Watches, but couldn't find it, even though I looked for a long time. It will fit the theme even better than this one.

Paint with Black Soot.

When the paint is almost dry, remove most of it with a paper towel.

I dabbed on some Cracked Pistachio and Mermaid Lagoon paint. Wipe some of it off, if you want to.

The Sizzix Weathered Clock was die cut from Heavystock paper.

I painted the clock red and the arms silver.

It was distressed with some stamping, using a calendar stamp, and black and brown paint.

Finally I added a touch of silver with the Brushed Pewter Distress Crayon.

The title was die cut with the Storybook die from paper I found in my scrap box.

The sentiment was stamped on a piece of patterned paper, turned into a tag with the Angle Corner Chomper tool.

The metallic panel was layered on top of an old book page, with an interesting sentence at the top of the page. There is also some Design Tape.

I scribbled around the edges with the metallic Distress Crayon. It looks nice on the dark background.

The Paper Doll girl was colored with Distress Markers.

I always liked the look of dry embossed foil tape since it gives such cool texture.

I also added some Small Talk stickers, which fit with the them.
