It's Heating Up at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge Blog

Welcome friends! It' s time for a new challenge at The Funkie Junkie Boutique blog and our lovely and talented hostess, Suzz has chosen the theme 'It's Heating Up'. Here's what Suzz says about this challenge:

July is when the weather here in the Midwest really starts to turn warm and muggy. This is the inspiration for our challenge to interpret the heat with using one or more of the following colors: Yellow, Red or Orange. Your challenge is to create a vintage or shabby chic project where the main color is yellow, orange or red. I can't wait to see how you turn up the heat in your art!

As always, the Design Team will choose their top four picks, and the winner will be invited to join us in a Guest DT spot at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog. The next three will receive Top 3 badges to display on their blogs. Everyone who enters and follows the rules will be entered into the draw to have the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique.

While I do use yellow, orange and red quite frequently in my projects, it's not often the main color, so this indeed was a challenge for me.

My background is a panel of Classic Kraft Stock embossed with Tim Holtz Foundry 3-D Texture Fade. I sanded it and added color with Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide ink and Ground Espresso ink. I layered it on two old Tim Holtz papers and finally to a kraft card blank.

I stamped The Professor by Tim Holtz with Ground Espresso and Faded Jeans  Distress Archival inks on a card scrap, fussy cut and colored his frames with Spiced Marmalade marker.

 I stamped the dial from the same set on Distress Heavystock with Rusty Hinge and Ground Espresso inks and a bit of Cracked Pistachio oxide ink. Using my stamp platform allows me to use multiple colors to create depth and interest.

I fussy cut the dial and colored it with Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge oxides. I gave the dial a coat of Distress Crazing and after drying, smudged with Distress crayon-Chipped Sapphire. Both stamped pieces were edged with Ground Espresso ink. With foam adhesive, both pieces were layered over some scraps I had on my worktop.

I finished my card with a Rusty Bottle Cap, Idea-Ology Metal Ruler Measurements (one of the many prizes I won in a challenge on Tim Holtz Addicts Facebook page), Mirrored and Adornments Stars and an Occasions Small Talk sticker. I patted the ruler with Chipped Sapphire Distress paint. Linda sells the bottle caps in the shop already rusted, and I just dabbed it with Chipped Sapphire paint to give contrast to the Mirrored Star. I colored the star with Splendor Alcohol Pearls (front) and Chipped Sapphire paint (back). The copper painted Adornment Star was already painted, leftover from a previous project, and I colored the other two with Chipped Sapphire paint and Carved Pumpkin oxide. Everything was adhered with Distress Collage Medium Matte.

As a final touch, I splashed the card with diluted Faded Jeans oxide.
