Grungy Monday #12 + Simon Says Metal

This week's Grungy Monday challenge was to work with Tim Holtz's resist technique from April of '08. I had a bit of trouble getting started, but once I did, I had a fun time with it. I added quite a few gears and sprockets...some cut using Tim's Mini Gears die, and some from his Idea-ology line. I also added a die cut metal clock for more texture. After I'd piled on all that faux and real metal, I realized it was perfect for this week's Simon Says Stamp and Show - Some Metal!

Supplies used:
Idea-ology Paper Stash - Lost and Found
Idea-ology Tissue Tape - Marketplace
Idea-ology Reinforcers
Tim Holtz Rubber Stamps - Stuff to Say
Artistic Outpost Rubber Stamps - Loverly London
Idea-ology Sprocket Gears
Idea-ology Memo Pins
Idea-ology Hitch Fastener
Sizzix Mini Gears Set
Sizzix Weathered Clock Die
Ranger Embossing Powder - Silver and Gold and Ultra Thick
Adirondack Dabbers - Pitch Black and Espresso
Idea-ology Tiny Attacher

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week!
