Compendium Fun - Challenge 7

Linda at Studio L3 has set us another challenge, this time from page 55 of Tim's Compendium, and entitled Tinted Vision Fragments. Thank you, Linda, for providing an excuse for us all to get disgustingly inky and painty.

Well, I got my old favourite die out to cut the edge of my card. Then I just had to try out some new purchases. On Sunday I ordered some new (to me) colours of acrylic paints and a Crafty Notions spray from Paper Artsy, and much to my delight they were waiting on the doormat for me this evening. Great speedy service. I chose one of my new Kaisercolour acrylic colours, Terracotta, and two old favourites, Raw Sienna and Soft Moss for the background, and then sprayed with my new CN black matte spray. I then cranked the card through the Big Shot with the TH damask folder, gave it a quick rasp with a sanding block, and spritzed with Bronze Glimmermist.

Next I did the secret Tim technique with an oval fragment and photo of an aunt. Then I inked up a panel of grungeboard with Rusty Hinge, and edged it with ribbon, and stuck on to the background the panel, the fragment and some Prima flowers smooched with Wild Honey and Dried Marigold and embellished with little amber pearly things. In real life there's lots of texture and dimension which the photo doesn't quite get.

Anyways, Happy Compendium Crafting !
