Saturday Step X Step

Welcome to another Saturday Step X Step ! It's Sue here and I'm sharing a grungey style card today.

I started with the background and used Seasonal Distress Stains Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry and Festive Berries.

I spritzed the card with water so that all the colours merged together.

This is what it looked like when it was dry.

 I then tore up pieces of printed tissue paper and glued it over the card.

I then gave the card a coat of watered down white acrylic paint to knock back the colour.

When it was dry I stamped over the card using the text from the Artistic Outpost Paper Boy set.

I then used the stamps from the Generation Redux set and stamped onto some masking tape, the sort you use for DIY.

For the flowers I used a technique that I spotted on Tracy Evans blog when I joined a blog hop for Creative Expressions. I've stuck the May Arts crocheted lace to some Grunge Paper. I then used the Tattered Flowers Sizzix die to cut the flowers. For the dark brown lace flower I also painted the Grunge Paper before sticking the lace to it. I forgot to take a photo of the cut flowers before I assembled them !

 

I cut a bottle cap using the mini bottle cap die and then coated it with gold acrylic paint. 

I cut a mini flourish from white card and coated it with acrylic paint too. 

I punched a circle of paper to glue onto the bottle cap and added an epoxy sticker. I stamped the main image twice, which is also from the Generation Redux set. I punched the number from the image and added it to the centre of the flower.

I hope you've enjoyed todays Step X Step and you have a great week end !
