Frilly & Funkie - Something to Say

Hi all! I'm so excited to share my first post for the Frilly and Funkie Design Team! Last week the Frilly crew shared their creations for the 'Something to Say' theme - this week it's the Funkie's turn.

I decided to make a burlap-covered panel using a few of my old favorite products, along with some new things that I'd been dying to try. I took a few pics along the way to share how I made it.

I started by covering a piece of medium-weight chipboard with burlap paper. Next, I used Tim Holtz's Traveler Layering Stencil and Ranger's Texture Paste to add some dimension. (This is the first time I've used this texture paste and I am so in love with it!)

After the texture paste was dry, I spritzed on various colors of Distress Stain. I love the look of the stain on burlap!

When that was dry, I lightly sanded the paste to remove the stain and give it some contrast. After that, it was time to decorate! I added strips of Tim's new Passport Design Tape, plus a ticket and Photobooth photo and a Remnant Rub. To add a little more texture, I spritzed it very lightly with Picket Fence Distress Stain.

I had a feeling the Mixed Media dies from Sizzix were going to work really well with my faux tarnished silver technique and I wasn't disappointed.  How cool is that design?! I love the metallic element it adds. To finish the panel, I added a strip of the new Big Chat stickers, finishing the quote with a word from one of Tim's older Alpha Parts collections.

I hope you enjoyed my grungy, vintage panel. I love using the burlap paper since it lets you make your art any size you want! All the products I used can be found at The Funkie Junkie Boutique via the links below.
