Repairs Receive Constant Attention Super Grungy Masculine Card

Hello and welcome! I've made this grungy card for my father-in-law to help ease his anxiety over some up coming surgery.  I've  blended Tim Holtz  12 Tags of 2015-January and 12 Tags of 2016-June techniques and added a few of my own touches.

 I've recycled a couple of things so I could play along with the current Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge. I've used some packaging from Tim Holtz products for my crackled layer and layered this over a 'clean' section of a packing slip. The side positioned quote (Dapper stamp set) is stamped on a portion of recycled Christmas card.

Everything else is pretty much Tim Holtz except the smaller cog, which is a wooden one from my stash. An arrow from the Alpha Parts Framed collection was colored with Distress paints following this Tim Hotlz tutorial.

I used Plain Collage Paper and stamped with Pine from Tim's Birch and Pine set in archival ink. I applied the collage paper to Heavy Stock using Vintage Collage Medium according to Tim's tutorial. I gave it a coat of Crazing Medium and smeared with Distress Crayons. The subtle splattering was done with Black Soot Distress paint.

I cut apertures using the Gadget Gears Bigz die, and the panel was smeared with Distress Crayon. I scribbled around the cogs to make them stand out. I used Pumice Stone Distress Glitter on another arrow from the same Alpha Parts collection. I didn't think it fit into the color scheme, so I dropped a few drops of mushroom alcohol ink over it.

The collage paper panel is layered over a panel of Metallic Kraft Stock heat embossed with Inventor 1 images.

I've had a lot of fun revisiting the technique and making this card. I hope it cheers my father in law up.

Hugs and Blessings!
