12 Tags of 2014- July

Nothing like waiting til the last minute :-)

Steampunk chest of drawers

I made this chest using the Sizzix Candy drawer die by stacking 4 of the drawers together and then gluing chipboard around the sides. The drawers were decorated using the painted industrial technique with Tim Holtz diamond plate and Subway embossing folders and finished off with Tim Holtz Faucet knobs.The handle on top is from the Tim Holtz hardware findings die. I am entering this in to the Compendium of Curiosities challenge sponsored by Inspiration emporium http://www.inspirationemporium.com/

Compendium of Curiosities Challenge 5

This challenge involved using distress inks as watercolors. I used the 12 Tags of 2014 June technique for the background using Tim Holtz layering stencils. I also used the mini blueprints stamp set which is where the water coloring came in, Tim Holtz Wall clock die, Tim Holtz arrow sticker, TH embellishments, inks, stains, and ribbon. A shout out to Inspiration Emporium for sponsoring this week's challenge!
