Compendium of Curiosities 3 Challenge

Over at Studio L3 Linda has challenged us to use the Painted Industrial Technique and I am just getting in under the wire! I love this technique and enjoyed just playing and enjoying the process along the way. I decided to create a dimensional industrial card. The background uses the technique from Tim Holtz book and I die cut an oval from the centre of my piece using the sized oval die and I added five layers to give added dimension.

From this picture you can see the layers I added to give a niche effect. I also added some chicken wire from my garden to add to the industrial feel along with a monocle with the repeat image, adding a heart charm for added interest. I also included a 'found' Chitchat sticker coloured with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.

A word band and arrow have been included all painted with a touch of Black Soot Distress Paint. I also added a few jump rings for added interest, simply adhering them to the background, I think they add wonderfully to the masculine industrial feel.

Remnant Rubs have also been included and I have added my dimensional piece to corrugated card for added texture.

I found the Clipboard Clip in my collection and I knew I had to add it to my design, again coloured with a touch of Black Soot Distress Paint, adding Label Letters to add 'found' to the clip along with a vintage key.
