Rusted grunge key

I made another Atc for my display this morning now the weather has finally cooled down. Was too hot to do anything except sunbathe lol. I wanted to try and create one atc that I didn't use any stamping on. I upcycled a piece of  cardboard packaging that I cut out with my atc die then put some gesso and some vintage photo distress ink on it. I then added a piece of text paper, some tissue paper and tape. I used alpha tiles to spell the word fly and used the rusting technique to embellish my key. I then added a piece of twine to the side and gave myself a pat on the back for staying away from the stamps! 

Have had some more Christmas dies delivered that I ordered so must get cracking with Christmas stuff. I am determined to be organised this year!Dont know how that will pan out though ;-)

Rusted grunge

It's so hot today!looks like British summer has finally arrived whoop whoop!I frazzled in the garden for a few hours and when I had had enough came and had a play while everyone was still outside and I could grab some me time.

Had a go at rusted grunge technique from compendium of curiosities. Love this way of making things look rusty. Made this tag to use one of the pieces I made. I love learning new techniques :-) Think this will be a useful one for lots of things.
