Autumn Objet (object) - distressed frame etc.

Hi, friends!
 It's already Friday here! And I'm away from my home office, and somehow I'm blogging. Ha ha. I'm now taking a coffee break. :)
 Finished an autumnal distressed objet (object) and an autumnal ATC for masculine four days ago to join in the Hero Arts September challenge Round 2.
 These items were by my hubby's request. - I may remove this line. He doesn't much like that I write about the private. :(

Here is the pic of those.

 I made those by both vertical and horizontal use of left-over paper strips to add on the autumn leaves or some images for those.


This is a photo which I took the frame only.

 For this background (mat), three Acrylic Dabbers were used by a paint brush on a chipboad. The stamp on the mat is Tim Holtz's. Other stamps are all Hero Arts.


 And here is a partial closeup around the maple leaf.

 This time, I used the Glossy Accents to cover a leaf, already colored with perfect pearls red to use like watercolor for a half of the leaf. Its finished look was like a kind of cool sticker. I thought about it for a while to use it flat or 3-dimensional. And finally decided to take the dimensional use. So, I put the distress stickes for the edge of the leaf and decorated with several Idea-ology metals for its finishing.

And here is the ATC. I used the stamped image of Misty Garden and a leaf covered with both Glossy and Crackle Accents which were made the other day - I posted it on Sep. 28, 2010.

Friends (distressed frame)

Made one more work for the Hero Arts 'distress' challenge.
ディストレスチャレンジ用に、もう１点作成しました（笑）今回のテーマは、私の大好きなディストレスなのですが、偏頭痛が続いている為、今回のものは、ヒーロー・アーツと言うよりも、ティム・ホルツ氏よりの作風ですねぇ・・・。もう少し柔らかいイメージする為に考えたかったのですが・・。
（もともと私のディトレス・グランジの作風は、Altered Art系で作風的にはMr. Tim Holtz 氏よりですから、このあたりから何の展開もナシでした(^^;) )

This is my card, 'Friends (distressed frame)'

The center piece was stamped the Misty Swirl Pattern with Saddle Brown StazOn on a grungeboard which was prepaired slightly painting with 2 acrylic paints. I painted again with Snow Cap (white) color after the StazOn ink dried. The edge of the grungeboad was distressed with a distresser and put normal and distress stickles around it.
The background material (board) is a chipboad, painted with 2 acrylic paints. And the paper flowers are also slightly colored with some Ranger distress inks to have them an aged look.
