Compendium of Curiosities III - Challenge 7

The current challenge on Linda Ledbetter's blog,

Studio L3

is to make something using the technique called

"Painted Industrial"

as described in Tim Holtz' book -

A Compendium of Curiosities Volume III.

(page 46).

I like this technique as it's quick and easy with

good results.

I decided to make a post it note holder and

decorate the covers using this technique.

The covers were cut from mountboard.

 I didn't have any black Distress Paint but

Claudine Hellmuth's Studio paint seemed to work just as well.

I decorated the inside covers too.

 ..... and the back.

I added a few embellishments too.

I love the deep embossing and think it really does

have the look of 'painted industrial'.

There are some prizes on offer if you enter

this challenge and are a lucky winner -

Inspiration Emporium  

are offering a $50 Gift Certificate (wow!)

and one lucky winner will receive a spectacular assortment

 of Tim Holtz products, courtesy of Tim himself 

and Mario Rossi, his business manager.  (double wow!!)

What you waiting for!!!

Thanks for looking at my entry:)
