Destination Inspiration - Route #5 - Remnants

Hello and welcome to the 5th and final instalment of our Destination Inspiration for May. Terry here today and this is what I cooked up, following the May concoction of:
Product: Any of Tim's Dies with the word "Vintage" in the Title
Colour: Stormy Sky
Technique: Tissue Wrap Collage from Compendium of Curiosities II, Page 38
Substrate: Card
I stamped an image from Tim's Classic #3 in Black Archival and then heat set to dry. Next I applied some Stormy Sky Distress Ink directly to the Craft Mat and using a wet paint brush coloured in the design areas and inked over the edges. I looked through my stash of Grungy shapes and went with Butterflies and Hearts also coloured with Stormy Sky.
 Following the instructions on page 38 of Compendium of Curiosities II, I glued down my grungy pieces and applied the Tissue Wrap and used a stylus to press down the TW around the images.
Final steps were to apply the paints of Stormy Sky and Vintage Photo as directed. I also rubbed a little Vintage Photo Distress Inky over the grungy objects and gave a spray of sealer to keep the inks in place. Added the Remnants Word Band and Finished off with Tim's Vintage Lace Die for trim, which was shaded.
