teen grunge

Ooooh! I was really excited to see Nicola's challenge for this week's Sunday challenge at Dottie's World. Here is the challenge:

'Hand Made...I dont want to see any ready made backing papers or embellishments. I want to see hand printed/stamped or coloured backing papers and embelishments, can be anything from a flower to shrink plastic etc... And of course a Charmed download'

I had so many ideas for this, but when I had finished it I realised I hadn't used half the stuff I had intended to on it. Nevermind, I'll save them for another time. I am also entering this into the challenge at One Stop Craft Challenge where the challenge this week is 'TORN'.

This is what I came up with:

First of all, I took a piece of chipboard and painted it with Tim Holtz ~ Crackle Paint. When it was dry, I rubbed some ink into the cracks. I also stamped some diamonds at random.

I tore a piece of corrugated card from the box of a recent stash delivery - appropriate? I inked it up with Ranger inks and smudged on some acrylic paint.

The image, of course is Madison with Attitude. As soon as I saw the challenge, I knew that I would be using her. I coloured her with my copics.

I made some hinges again using crackle paint, which I inked up and cut out.

The letters of the word 'TEEN' were stamped out onto card and cut out. To make them show up against the background, I dabbed some acrylic paint. I'm quite pleased I did this as it has shown up the cracks of the crackle paint even better!

I hope that you are all having a wonderful bank holiday. Even if the weather isn't what it should be, there is always ..... chocolate ...... yum! Happy Easter!

Thank you for looking.

And if you'd like to leave a comment I would love to hear it.
