Renea's First "Touch Of Grey" Project

Morning everyone!

Today I am sharing Renea's beautiful interpretation of this 

months sketch by Charlotte aka Suepup

She used some paper from the Coordinating Paper Add On for the base and then tore, water distressed and painted the edges with some Jacquard Paint that I mixed with  sandblasting sand to get that that really gritty texture.

She fussy cut out one of the film strips from the CAO paper, fringed the ends and rolled them, then layered it in, then topped it with a view master piece that she created using the stencil from the kit. She first painted around the stencil onto a foil paper, then fussy cut it out and distressed the edges.

She distessed and inked some more of the kit papers and layered them, then distressed and inked the edges of the photo and added it on. She randomly placed dry wall tape for even more texture.

She created mattes for the smaller photos, by distressing and inking some more paper.   SHe added more dry wall tape, and  then  cut the "Live Life To The Fullest" quote from the paper and attached  the words randomly.

She used more of Jacquard paint and sand mixture and painted puddles all over.

She took the leftover pieces that she tore off the paper edges and stacked them for a really cool layered look, then tore the large "Everyday Moments" piece from more of the paper, inked the edges and added it on with foam tape for dimension.
