Aged, Weathered, Distressed. CVC May #2

 Aged and distressed wallpaper

These are the steps I used to create what I've called distressed wallpaper and used it in a project using the fabulous Tim Holtz clip board die.

Take a palette knife and drag white gesso over the surface of your card and leave to dry. Using a soft cloth rub some paint over the surface keeping it thin and light.

Use a heavy duty sander to scrape around the edges and really distress them 

Take vintage photo distress ink and make a puddle and dip the edges in, leave to dry.

Cut and distress three clipboards and the faux metal clips.

Sand the silver clips, rub vintage photo distress ink pad over them and finish the top one with a distress crayon.

Adhere the the clipboards together and attach the clip (See the Tim Holtz video oh how to put this clipboard together.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMnCfC97bOM )

I also added a small custom fastener with a butterfly in it.

I took an offcut from my bits box to create the mount for the photobooth picture of the girls, inked the edges and sewed down the sides

The edges of the photo of the girls was scraped with scissors then dipped into vintage photo DI mixed with vintage collage medium and dried. I added colour to them by using the same technique I used on the first May project using DIs mixed with matte collage medium.

I scraped some crackle paste over media card using a palette knife and left it overnight.

The next day a rubbed over a victorian velvet DI pad .....

.....  then rubbed it back with a wet wipe.

I sanded the edges and blended in ground espresso DI and gently rubbed in some artisan powder and wiped it back with a damp cloth.

Run the background through the big shot in texture fade embossing folder. Then dip into victorian velvet and stormy ski distress inks and dry.
