Feeling Rusty by Kerry Engel
This page looks like it should weigh about 3 pounds. But it doesn’t. Those gears – they are totally fake.
What would take nature about 5 years to accomplish I created in roughly 20 minutes, with a little help from Pentart Rust Effects distributed by Bo Bunny
The gears were cut using a Tim Holtz die cut from Sizzix. I covered them in Ranger black gesso and pressed the Rust Effect powder distributed by Bo Bunny into the wet gesso.
Then I added the Rust Effect Reagent from Pentart distributed by Bo Bunny on top and brushed it around with an old paintbrush. Once dry I covered in the Pentart Varnish. I thought that would seal in the rust shavings. The gears remain pliable and very light weight. They look very realistic and give my page some lovely texture. I think I’ll do this on chipboard letters next!
Supplies:
- Pentar distributed by Bo Bunny : Iron Effect Powder, Rust Effect Reagent, Varnish
- Bo Bunny: Paper and Embellishments- Take a Hike Collection, Modern Miss Ephemera Collection
- Ranger– ink, black gesso
- Tim Holtz for Sizzix dies
- Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid glue
Happy Scrapbooking Everyone!
