CC#3C - Altered Burlap Panel

Open up your Compendium of Curiosities, Page 37, Lesson Altered Burlap Panel and Linda and the Curiosity Crew have us enjoying another chapter in Tim's fabulous technique book. The Funkie Junkie Boutique is the wonderful sponsor of this challenge and there is a little surprise for someone from Tim and Mario, so come on and join in!

As always we cannot give out any details out of respect for the hard work and time Tim puts into his books, so if you don't have the book, click above and have some fun while learning.

What I can tell you is that this Altered Burlap Panel is for my dear friend, who just had a birthday on the 11th and is more like a sister to me.



I had a great time searching for little embellishments to tie in our friendship over the last 14 years. It is amazing how friends can become so much like family.  All these little Chit Chat stickers are so true of the two of us and life's events we both share in common. In fact tomorrow we will be joining them for brunch and that is always a great time.

Thank you for stopping by on my creative journey with the Curiosity Crew!

CC#3C - Layering Stencil-Texture Paste

Linda Ledbetter over at Studio L3 and her Curiosity Crew have instructed us to open Tim's Compendium of Curiosities III to page 49, Layering Stencils: Texture Paste for challenge #4. This time around The Funkie Junkie Boutique is the sponsor of a fabulous $25 store gift certificate and Linda always offers 20% to begin with! Pretty cool and speaking of, a prize from Tim and Mario as chosen by the Curiosity Crew to one lucky winner! Let's start!

For all the details on the technique you must have the book as we are asked to not share out of respect to Tim and all the work that goes into the making of the BOOK. Will also share this with Simon Says Stamp Monday's "Anything Goes."

For the dress form while the TP was still wet between layers of paint and paste, I sprinkled on some Rock Candy Distress Glitter. I know it does not show too much, but it is there!

See I told you!

After the technique, my tag was inked (Antique Linen, Pumice Stone, Gathered Twigs) and flicked with water. I wrapped some thread around the spools and cut a little slit to hold the thread and of course going with a sewing theme, used some threaded buttons and a little trim. Cut out a couple of doilies for a little extra interest and of course those were distressed with color.

Using some of Tim's paper, I layered that on top of a card base and again added a little trim and a few hearts. Other inks used were Black Soot, Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo, Rusty Hinge and Dried Marigold.
