CCC#26 Rusted Grunge


It's been snowing here in NS for most of the day so I've spent most of my afternoon in my craft room . Since the challenge over at StudioL3 is due tomorrow I need to get this one done today . Had so much fun doing this challenge taken from page 45 of the Compendium of Curiosities book ---Rusted Grunge . Sorry can't give you any more details as it's against the rules . I chose to make a valentine card this time instead of a tag which I usually do . I like how it turned out . The rusted grunge is done on the hinge and the key . Hearts are cut with the spellbinders heart dies . Bird and rosette are with TH's alterations dies and the ticket was stamped with TH's Odds&Ends stamp.DP from Graphic45. Added an oval gem in the Love for bling.

Entering this are also in Simon Says Stamp and Show your newest stamp --my newest stamp being the ticket stamp from Tim Holtz's ODDs & Ends.

Ohhh, Marilyn. This card is fantastic...I don't know how you manage to get so many things on it without it looking "too much", if you know what I mean (wink!) The heart hanging from the bracket is a nice idea.
