Corrosion


Corrosion - Good day, crafty friends. Today's challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity is to use the colors in corrosion. Don't you just love the rusts with the turquoise? I think they are a lovely color combo.



My image is Fred, She Said Old Truck. It is a fabulous image to practice coloring rust with. I took a class with Suzanne Dean and this was the homework from that class. It was fun to do, but a lot of work. I think I have to much rust and would have liked to have had more of the blue show through.


My papers, to include the tags are Kaiser Crafts, Secret Bird Society Collection. I distressed the papers with my Zutter Distrezz-it tool. I then inked with Rusty Hinge distress inks.


My sentiment and punches are SU.


My die is SB and I cut it in half. The swirly paperclip has been in my stash forever.
