Punk Rocker
Good Morning Peeps. Not so nice to-day in the West Coast of Scotland, but at least I have a card to show you. Over at Sunday Stampers Challenge 219 the theme is Steam Punk. As you will see I got taken in a slightly different direction because the title " I Wish I was a Punk Rocker" got into my head and it would not shift. I started out with the masking tape technique and used Distress Stain to colour the tape. once it had dried off I sprayed it with pearl mist and added some crackle accents to parts of my piece. Now for the fun part, I distressd the large clock face and I added a piece of gold net underneath. All this time I was singing the title song, so chains, keys & safety pins came to mind. I coloured some wooden alphabet letters with Alchohol inks ready to add to my finished piece. The frame at the top I used the rusting technique from Crafty Notions, I added to this my letters and a few embellishments. I also crackled the small wheels too. What a Fun Challenge it was, Thanks to Hels and the great themes she gives us at SS. I hope you All enjoy your Day. Apart from tired and sore limbs, I feel so much better to-day. Hugs Rita xxxx

Hi Rita, love how you were transported by that song and ended up with this mini masterpiece, I really love the colours and the distressed clock face. I must take lessons from you on the rusting technique, I keep failing but yours looks perfect. Glad to hear you feel much better today. Crafty hugs, Anne x
