It's been a while since I've used washi tape for the Monday Challenge, andthe Henna Patterns Stamp set made me think of washi tape. So I used that on my take alon with actually washi tape. I've colored it in with Hickory Smoke Distress Crayon and Peacock Feathers Distress Marker.



The background I made by using Schoolhouse with Grid Paste. When it was dry, I applied the first coat with Bundled Sage Distress and Paint Peeled Paint Distress Stain. Then applied a few Distress Inks to create more depth.

 

The Thankful and Cottage Stems dies are also of the new STAMPtember release. I both painted them black with the Pitch Black Paint Dabber. On the Cottage Stems I've applied the Rust Paste from Prima Marketing. If this paste is still wet, the color is more intense than when it is dry. Then it gets a matte finish so it really looks like rust.

Oh yeah! There is a grungy effect with the products I wouldn't even imagine they could be grungy made. You're the best! I adore the background colors, how you made the washi from stamp and the die covered with rust paste! Great job! Hugs, Marzena
