Rusty Door, #50, Rust,

My interpretation of a rusty old door is my second piece this month on the CVC challenge. Lots of layers here for you to explore. Pop over to my blog if you are curious. 

Rusty Things

I have made a rusty looking tag for my second project this month. The whole piece is made with lots and lots of layers of paint and is a pretty easy effect to achieve! There is more explanation of this technique on my blog. Gabrielle x

April 2017 - Rust

Welcome everyone to our April Challenge.

Our theme this month is "Rust", chosen by the lovely Evelyn

 

Hello and happy April! 

This month it´s my turn to host the new challenge here at Country View Challenges and I decided to choose the theme: RUST.

If you want to know, how I created my forgotten door, please visit my blog! I´ll show you some ways to get things rusty. Come back the next days, I´ll show you some more ways, so stay tuned!

What a great challenge, this really made me think. Then it made me clear out 'that' drawer to find the rusting powder, and then 'that' cupboard to find the white vinegar!

For more details and pictures (not of the drawer and cupboard, no one needs to see these) please visit my blog at Sue The Iron.

Rust, and its copper equivalent Verdigris, are my favourite weathered effects. It immediately gives a Vintage look to your creations and I was inspired to make a foray in the Steampunk area with this canvas. Come and see how I made this on my blog.

Brenda

I am in a phase of mixing rusty elements with lighter and/or brighter colours and I am also experimenting with abstract art, so I have mixed it all up for this challenge. As always more details and photos can be see over at Bumblebees and Butterflies, but the warmer weather is definitely on it's way and inspiring my creations.

 

Miriam
For my rust project this month I have created a tag using new Distress and Tim Holtz products.  My rusty birdcage has been created using paint. 

 

Pop over to my blog to see how I created this tag.

For my first Rust project this month I covered a mdf plaque with Fresco paints and Copper Treasure Gold. To find out how I made it, please pop over to my blog. Gabrielle x

I had so much fun making this piece - I do hope you can join in with our rust challenge - I think you'll have fun too! You can find more details at my blog here.

For our April challenge I have brought you here a Rusty Time Box which can actually indicate the time. If you would like to know how I put this together, please visit my blog.

A very happy 1st April to you all...there will be no catching me out today on April's Fools' day because it's also my birthday..yes honestly. I will be catching up with all the family later and enjoy a meal out and cake (of course). Our theme for April is rust and I must admit I did struggle a little with this at first. However I eventually decided on a "rust" coloured and textured female greeting card. I made rusted butterflies and used lots of other textures and colours. If you would like to see some more step by step details do pop over to my blog here where a  slice of birthday cake  very warm welcome awaits you.

Bye for now,

It's Those Crazy Dogs

Good morning and happy weekend! I'm really pleased to be sharing my second Tim Holtz inspired piece today.

I love these stamp and die sets when I need a fun 'special' card, they just make me smile!

There are more photo's and details over on my blog Sue The Iron and I'd love it if you popped across. 

Have a great day, and thanks very much for looking. Sue xx

Tims feminine side!

Today its my turn to share more inspiration for our challenge with you. I wanted to explore Tims more feminine side with this second piece and this is what I came up with - there's full details over on my blog here.

Having fun with the new Tim Holtz Oxides.

With apologies, some of you have already seen this post but it published at the wrong time - probably my fault lol. Thank you to those who have already left comments and here it is again in it's correct slot.

Hi it's Brenda here today to share a little playtime I had recently using the new Distress Oxides from Tim Holtz. I haven't completed a project as I spent time playing with a palette of three colours, spritzing, dipping and drying many layers to create these fabulous backgrounds.

If you would like to see more then pop over to Bumblebees and Butterflies and also keep a watch out on the project blog over the next couple of weeks where I will be showing how I used these two pieces in a project.

Don't forget to take a look at the Challenge Blog to see the challenge details 'Inspired by Tim Holtz' and all the fabulous entries we already have. (You'll find the link on the sidebar).

Hello everybody,

for our March challenge - Be inspired by Tim Holtz - I have made a card with one of Tim's newest embossing folders and of course with Tim's stamps. As I was a great fan of Tim's challenge, the "12 tags of...." I chose the techniques from there. 

For more details, please hop on my blog!

Thank you!

It's a wrap

Hello it's Jane here. Happy St. Patrick's Day to those who celebrate it. I am back with my 2nd DT piece to hopefully inspire you to join in with our "inspired by Tim Holtz" challenge this month. You still have plenty of time to join in and remember you can enter as many times as you like and link with any challenges too! My first piece I shared here was quite girly. Today I am back with something very "traditionally" Tim inspired; a tag........

......but wait a minute...have you spotted something in the background.............yes it's a "real" gift tag with matching gift wrap. If you would like to see what I got up to together with a step by step do pop over to my blog here where a very warm, nearly spring welcome awaits you 

Bye for now,

Inspired by Tim. #49 Tim Holtz,

Hazel

Alcohol Inks, Acetate, A Compendium of Curiosities all mixed together to create my second piece this month. For all the details, please visit my blog!

Dream

This month's challenge to be inspired by Tim Holtz has meant I've dusted off some of my favourite of his older stamps. I used Distress ink and then spritzed water through a stencil to make the background. I used lots of Glossy Accents on the wings, crown and motto. When it was dry I bent the wings and crown so they cracked. If you would like to see more, please pop along to my blog. Thank you as always for popping by. Gabrielle x
