My second 2Crafty Chipboard share for June

My next creation for 2Crafty Chipboard is totally different to my previous one.

 

I've gone grungy and rustic.

 

It's titled:

 

"Adventure awaits"

 

 

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

 

"Chevron Bits"

"Steampunk Medium Gears"

"Steampunk Small Gears"

"Chain lengths"

"Adventure loopy title"

"Chained Circle Frames"

"Assorted Arrows"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I grunged up the background paper by adding some stamping in black ink, and also some flicks and blobs of spritz.

 

I also added some random strips of paper, to which I applied gesso.

 

 

As I wanted some of the chipboard to look like rusty metal, I applied Finnabair's Rust Effect Paste.

 

I was thrilled with how it came out.  So simple.

 

The rust comes in 3 colours - Red Rust, Brown Rust and Gold Rust.

 

I got these on a recent retail therapy trip to the fabulous shop Scrap Matrix.

 

I just rubbed it over the chipboard quite randomly.

 

 

I did this for the 'Steampunk Small Gears' and 'Steampunk Medium Gears'

 

 

and also for the 'Chained Circle Frames' and the 'Chain Lengths'.

 

 

 

I painted a few 'Assorted Arrows' and 'Chevron Bits' in black, and also added black paint to my title 'Adventure loopy font'.

 

 

I then added some extra embellishments - quotes, metal bits and flicks of paint.

 

 

I really enjoyed doing a grungy layout.

 

 It's been a long time as I get so distracted by COLOUR!

 

This layout really reminded me to step out of my comfort zone and try something a little different.

 

I hope you do too!!

 

Much love
