Guest Design Spot with CSI and The Trinket Track

Hi Everyone,

The new case file #117 is up at Colour Stories Inspirations and I am very happy to have been invited as a Guest Designer for this month, along with Mary Bennetts highlighting some fabulous product from The Trinket Track.

Life Doesn't Have to be Perfect

Was inspired to create a masculine grunge LO for this Case File with a mixed media background To create some texture I used an arrow mask with Viva 3d paint which has a fab metallic grainy texture.  Over the top of the arrow masking I used a small circular mask with gel medium which I coloured with Lindy's Stamp Gang mica powder in a golden yellow to match in with the colour palette.

Leftover rubons are a great way to alter embellishments.  I used some old Basic Grey rubons, placed randomly on the yellow flair button to grunge it up.

For my testimony I stamped a Prima stitched square on some paper, cut around the stamped image, then stamped a Tim Holtz quote for my journaling.

Evidence: cogs/gears, circles, metal, rubons, arrows, numbers
Testimony: Stamped Journalling Spot

Resin rhinestone beads/cabochons - I altered the blue and yellow rhinestone cabochons by coating with gesso using my fingertip. This softened the bold colours and gave them a grungy feel.

Metal - small sprockets - The small sprockets were altered with Viva inka gold in graphite to add the grey tones from the colour palette.

Metal charms - arrows

Metal charms - lightbulbs

The metal arrow and light bulb charms were also altered with Viva inka gold in graphite.
