It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Distress it".
This is a challenge that's right up my alley. I love distressing and was thinking of grunging it up right away. Of course, I'm also a big fan of the Distress products and especially the inks and oxides. First I started creating the background on Heavystock with Distress Ink (Evergreen Bough, Peacock Feathers, Ground Espresso) and Distress Oxide (Broken China, Cracked Pistachio and Walnut Stain). I've applied a lot of layers and dried it in between each layer with the heat tool. To create even more depth and add more color I've applied some Distress Ink and Distress Oxide with a Blending Tool.
When I think of Grunge I think about Gears, so I've used one of the Gadget Gears 2 (thanks Barbara!) And some of the Gearhead set (thanks Cathie!). The Gadget Gear 2 I sanded (was die cut out of copper metallic cardstock) and after that I applied some Distress Ground Espresso and Metallique Wax Bronze Age. On the Gearhead Gears I first applied some Grit-Paste and then painted it black. After the paint was dry I used different wax (Bronze Age, Aged Brass, Old Silver and Vintage Silk) to make the texture of the Grit-Paste stand out and give it the old metal look.

Wow! This is so cool! The background turned out almost as made of alkohol inks. What a great effect of building it with so many layers of oxides. Amazing! And it's the first time I see your nails painted! Is it a London look? :-) Hugs, Macarena
