Blurred Vision Watercoloring

Hello Everybody!

The challenge this month at Technique Time Tuesday is so fun and super easy!  Go check out the video here.  There's also a fabulous prize to the top winner-so come on and play!

Here is my card:

I used the technique on Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower.  Everything I used is Tim Holtz except the script in the background and the cardstock I used for the circle in the front and inside.  

Normally, I just do a standard A2 card.  But I made the pocket watch out of grungepaper, used bronze and silver distress stain and added my buildings and chit chat stickers.  Here's the truth of the matter.  I made Big Ben first using rusty hinge distress ink.  It came out so good.  I was just playing but it was just so awesome!  So then I blurred the Eiffel tower.  And the rest...they say is history.

Here's a close up.  I used glossy accents to cover the inside of it to be like glass.

Here is the inside.  After I made the first part of the pocket watch my husband said you should make that into a card.  I frowned at putting it on an A2 base.  That just didn't seem right.  So I got out some more grunge paper, die cutted a pocket watch.  I used silver distress stain to cover the backside of the first pocket watch.  Then I used bronze and silver for the second half.  I cut out a circle and used distress ink.  Then I adhered the left part so that it would open up and be a card.  Thank you hubby! :)

I hope you play.  It's super easy and I am sure you already have all of the things you need for the technique.  Thank you for stopping by!  Until next time my friends...when in doubt-grunge it up! :)
