I used the crackle paste on the bottom of the card and let it dry. Once it was dry I popped it in an embossing folder and ran it through my Sizzix. I used Gathered Twigs Distress Stain all over the paste. Once the stain sank into all the cracks I used my Vintage Photo Distress Ink to highlight the raised areas.
The medallion is colored with Alcohol Inks in Meadow, Caramel, Ginger, and Stream. The industrious frame got a touch of ink too. Vintage black lace and washi tape line the top of the card pocket.
The card is a tag shape. I started by using Antique Linen Distress Ink and the Latticework Stencil on the background. I then used a large script stamp to cover the background in Vintage Photo. A few spritz of Black Soot Distress Marker using the new Spritzer finished the background.
The image was stamped on watercolor paper and colored using my Distress Markers and water brush. I am not a painter, but the distress markers make anyone look like a pro. The edges were roughed up using the Tonic paper distresser.
The Tim Holtz saying was stamped in Archival Ink. The flowers are from Prima. I cut them up and glued them to make a dimensional flower.
I love how this turned out. Grungy, but beautiful.
