Denim, Rust and Dust: Gingersnaps and Technique Junkies

This is my take on the theme Denim, Rust and Dust for Gingersnaps. I used a technique from Technique Junkies called Distress Colourblocking which I applied to the background paper which already had a stripe design on.

This technique is available at Technique Junkies February/March edition. There are so many techniques available through their site. Click on the link to take a look.

I will come back and add more to this post but time has run out on me again!

Ok, I am back. So the other items I used were the pennants Tim Holtz die to cut out both denim and rust papers. Then my favourite up cycled material, Tomato puree tubes, run through an embossing folder an highlighted with Cherry followed by black Stazon ink, The image was stamped and white pen added for highlights and pale chalk rubbed in as well. Finally as they looked like well worn farmers I added their crop seed to the base. I liked the way the sunflower seed picked up with the stripes and with the highlighted diamonds on the farmer's clothes and the patterns they made laid together.
