Live a Little!

..woohooo! I'm finally getting something in the Grungy Monday challenge! (never mind the fact that this tag was started, oh, about two weeks ago for something else, which never got done)

Yes, actually, this started out to be an entry for the rusted enamel technique from a couple of weeks ago. So, that's what the background is. Love the way that tech turns out. I then added some texture paint to the corners, and dabbed some copper and gold paint dabber over it.  Guess you better see the tag so you know what I'm talkin' about. lol

By the way, the challenge on Grungy Monday is to include Rock Candy Stickles or Crackle Paint in your project. Check out the video by the Timinator:
I included both products. The stickles are on the rose, the paint is on the leaves. Here's PROOF, if you don't believe me:

The head is a Hampton Arts stamp from Graphic 45, or, Graphic 45 stamp by Hampton Arts, take your pick. The dress form is Studio 490.
The wings - Friendly Plastic and a mold
Butterfly - plastic packaging stamped with Hero Arts Antique Engravings butterfly, heated slightly to curl.
Some watch parts in her "hair".
An Idea-ology word stick - "Live".
That's about it!
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it!

20 watcha thinkin'?:

Rock Candy Distress Stickles are just great for adding texture without too much bling. I use it most out of all my glitters and glitter glues.
