Compendium of Curiosities Challenge #29



Hello to my faithful followers....all three of you...here is my entry into the StudioL3 Compendium of Curiosities Challenge #29 "Weathered Wood Grunge". This technique can be found on page 50 of the Tim Holtz book "Compendium of Curiosities" (buy it here).

Somehow I missed last week, I do not understand...I made the piece, and it is still sitting on my crafting table, all alone, desolate to have been so thoroughly forgotten. I am ashamed. And Puzzled...

But

I did do something for this week and I will now reveal my masterpiece (ok, In reality it's just ok, but I can dream can't I?)





I started out by die cutting the puzzle pieces out of grunge board, then used 6 different Cuttlebug embossing folders.


Then I proceeded to follow Sir Tims instructions to the very best of my ability, and I'm afraid he would be a trifle disappointed, I have such a hard time with this type of thing, but it's me, not him



I used Spiced Marmelade, Fired Bricks, Peeled Paint, Faded Jeans, Vintage Photo and Concord DIs, that is indeed one of the Tim papers as a background



I made my own little holder for the ticket which was the reverse of one of Tim's that I wet, crumpled, stamped and inked with Vintage Photo.


I hope you like it, I think it turned out kinda kewl, but who am I to judge? I made it after all lol

Have a great week and Thanks again Linda for a fun project!

Distress Misting Mask

here is a direct quote from Linda's blog, Studio L3...

Happy Monday, and happy 27th installment of this celebration of Tim Holtz's A Compendium of Curiosities! Holy cow, it's hard to believe there are only nine more challenges to go before we've worked our way through every technique in the book. Thank you so much for being part of this project. I hope you're having as much fun as I am!

Please open your Compendium to page 60, where you'll find Tim's instructions for Distress Misting Masks, and let's get started. If you're new to this series and don't have the book, you can get a copy from the man himself by visiting Tim's website.

this is also for Simon Says Stamp and Show as well as All Things Tim
Once again, sliding in close to the last minute. And with a pretty skimpy project. We went to a 'garage sale' today put on by a local scrapbook store, and I bought some stamps that are used to make a box and an envelope, so I had to use those for this challenge. Not too pleased with them, but gonna use them anyways.

There are two items here, one a box


the other an envelope,



I used some mists I had mixed quite some time ago so it's anybodys guess the colors I used. I know they look kewl tho. I did use Tim masks and his Umbrella man stamp tho. The 'window' of each was embossed with a Tim texture fade, altho you really can't see it. There are masks on the back of both, but these are enough pics, I think

Anyways, thanks to all the wonderful people who make these challenges possible. I have a great time learning all these techniques and seeing eveything that others are making too.

1 *Tim Holtz Idea-ology CONFIGURATIONS 5.75" X 10.75" Shadow Box
1 *Tim Holtz DISTRESS EMBOSSING POWDER PEELED PAINT Green Ranger
1 *Tim Holtz DISTRESS EMBOSSING POWDER FIRED BRICK Red Ranger
1 *Tim Holtz DISTRESS EMBOSSING POWDER VINTAGE PHOTO Brown Ranger

since I have zero TH distressing powder until this order arrives I will have to try a different method for this weeks challenge.

This week the challenge is Rusted Grunge found on page 45 of Tim's book, Compendium of Curiosities. This challenge is taking place at Studio L3, where the wonderful Linda is helping to keep us all out of trouble lol


Anyways, here's this weeks attempt. as stated above I do not, as yet, have and distress embossing powder in my hot little hands, so I used bronze powder and 'modified' it as I went, still used the vintage photo DI and I think it came out pretty good. Pretty much everything else is just stuff from around the craft room all placed upon another one of those poor little orphaned boxes rescued by my beloved hubs.

Compendium of Curiosities Challenge #25

This is for Studio L3 The Compendium of Curiosities techniques from Tim Holtz Book, All Things Tim and Simon Says Stamp & Show.

So, please open your Compendium of Curiosities to page 34, where you'll find Mr. Holtz's Scribble Stain Distress instructions!



I'm not too sure about this technique...it looks so easy and then it isn't, lol, but I tried my best and am not really too unhappy with how it turned out. This also works with Simon Says Stamp and Show as it is most definitly remenicent of yesteryear.



I used Faded Jeans, Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint, Antique Linen and Vintage Photo distress inks and an assortment of stamps from Tim's collection as well as one - the woman with the dogs, from Viva Las Vegasstamps. I made the little lace flower embellishment and attatched it with a Hot Off The Press brad. This is my SIL birthday card for next week, so don't tell her - OK?



Again let me thank the wonderful people who make these fun challenges available. Linda at StudioL3, Gloria at All Thngs Tim and the great folks at Simon Says Stamp & Show. And of course, the King of Grunge Himself, Tim Holts! All links are available at the bottom of this post.
