Thank you - TSOT#672

Hi everyone. We have a new sketch challenge up over at TSOT.  I decided to go with a masculine theme on this one.

The embossing folder is from Tim Holtz. I used metal tape from the hardware store to create the panel using the folder.  I did take a black distress crayon and add some grunge to it.  The designer papers are from MFT stamps.  

Here is a close-up of the embossed and distressed panel.

I hope you join us! Below is the sketch. 

grunge metal birthday

Hello. Played around with distress glaze and crayons after TH's live today. Here is what I ended up with.

I used Sizzix foil adhesive sheet and ran it through the 3D texture fade foundry embossing folder. Next I covered it with collage medium, sprinkled on distress glaze in cracked pistachio, antique linen and broken china. Heat embossed it very carefully (it got really hot) and then ran black soot distress crayon all over it. Did the smudge with the brush, came back with my fingers and baby wipe, to build it up and take it off.....LOL. I love how it came out. I also really like how there are bare spots where the embossing powder did stick to. 

Birthday sentiment is from Poppy stamps and I heat embossed it in silver onto the metallic teal cardstock from TH.  

I had a lot of fun playing around with this. I also did a strip of sheet metal tape doing the same technique and it equally came out cool looking. Just be very careful when heat embossing! 

Thanks for stopping by.
