Rusted ScreamPunk?!?

It's my turn to do the Saturday StepXStep at Frilly & Funkie.  I really didn't know what to show you, as my sickly mind (;-D) has not been focused on crafting lately, but since the challenge at Simon Says Stamp & Show was "Rustification", I decided to do a tutorial on how to create an old rusted look using Distress Ink and Ranger's Clear Fine Embossing Powder, called...and appropriately I might add...Distress Ink Enameled Rust, that I learned from Tim at Ranger U, but with a few addends. I initially wanted to do another video, but my throat and head said no way, so instead there are mounds of pictures! Here are all the finished projects that I created making a Masterboard, but to see how I created the rust look, head on over to Frilly & Funkie
I was able to make six holographic ATC's, to be swapped at the All Things Tim Yahoo Group, and...
...two #8 tags, one of which goes to the talented Sandra of Made By Sannie for a little side swap (Sounds shady!) we have going. The postcard is pretty much the same as the tags, but it was made from a separate rusted piece I was experimenting with before the Masterboard. It is for a swap from another Yahoo Group I'm in, and is for Elena of  My Name Is Elena.



The background of the tag before the ScreamPunk  (A name I read on someone's blog.) Guy was added.That someone was Shelly. Remember her ScreamPunk Pop Up Tag?
 
 
His goggles are made of Liquid Pearls, and I added his spine bones to hold his neck tie and skeleton key.
This is the postcard, although it could never be mailed like this! I just can't help it...it needed lots of stuff!
I decorated the back, and here is the stamp I made.

I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

Live For Today's Autumn Beauty!

The technique at Linda's Compendium of Curiosities II Challenge is from Tim's book by the same name, page 59, for "Alcohol Ink Resist". I love this technique and have used it several times, but this time it's for Autumn leaves.
 
 
Supplies:
From My Stash- metal ribbon from Hobby Lobby, Vintaj Leaves (discontinued)
