Weather Beaten and Sun Bleached

Hello crafters!
Today I have a first inspiration make for our Country View Challenge held in the Facebook group. This month the theme is "Aged, Weathered, Distressed" hosted by Brenda. 

I used rust and sun bleached wood as my weathered inspiration.


My base is some recycled lightweight wood (food packaging) cut with the AALL & Create Die set  - Tag It Yourself #27 and primed with gesso.
I applied some rusting powder (Paper Artsy) with water and vinegar as well as Distress Oxide in Patina and let them mingle.
I dove deep in my bits and bobs stash retrieving waste of die cuts (the pennants) and embellishments.
The main image, is the lighthouse from Paper Artsy set HP1202 stamped on fabric. 
Decorative chips from Stamperia, a piece of Washi #106 from Stamperia (bottom right), a snippet of card embossed with a the Mini Lumber folder from Tim Holtz/Sizzix, aged with inks and more were added as embellishments. 
 

To enter the challenge, hop on to our friendly group here and upload your project to the challenge album. There will be a fabulous prize from the Country View Craft shop, something from a latest release...

Thanks for coming by,

    Loving that rusty effect on the tag, it all speaks of the sea with the beautiful weathered look for your main image and embellishments 😊. Happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
