Grungy Monday #5 #2



I so enjoyed making my Grungy Monday #5 piece that I made another one!!  Again I used a piece of corrugated.  This piece is about 7" x 7.5".  I cut the niche to house the word 'journey', a t!m movers and shapers die.  The background paper is a sheet from an 8" x 8" stack from GCD Studios - Paris Nights.  The background behind the niche was created with dusty concorde, peeled paint and weathered wood distress stains.  I embossed a piece of chipboard type card with t!ms steampunk embossing folder and swooshed weathered wood and peeled paint distress stain over it.  I cut the car from cork.  The extras (bumper, wheels etc) and the word were cut from brown white core cardstock.  The quote was stamped, die cut with a spellbinders label and coloured with antique linen and peeled paint distress stains.
