new tim hotlz distress: salvaged patina

You know it’s going to be a great weekend when you have a new color of Tim Holtz Distress to play with. If you missed Tim’s You Tube live today, I am happy to share a project with you featuring the newest color in the Distress Line…Salvaged Patina, and what a beauty it is! It pairs amazingly with all the other colors in the line. 

I was thrilled to be able to create with this wonderful new color, and wanted to try something a little bit different than a card in my colorful style. I used a piece of Dina Wakley Media Board which I cut to 4 x 8 1/2 with my large Tonic trimmer. Then I layered on the Distress Paints in Salvaged Patina, Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Chipped Sapphire and Dusty Concord. I added one color at a time to each section, blending on to the canvas with my finger, adding bit of water and drying with a heat tool between each color. For some of the colors (Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Chipped Sapphire), I removed some of the paint by adding a stencil on top of the patch of color and wiping it with a baby wipe, then drying it. You can see that in the top right with the stencils and on top of the Blueprint Sketch with the Mini DIgits stencil. 

I wanted to add more interest to the canvas so I took out my favorite Stampers Anonymous Media Marks 1 and Media Marks 2 sets. I used Distress Archival Inks and some Picket Fence Distress Paint to stamp images all over my canvas (Be sure if you stamp with paint to wash your stamps off right away). Then I let the canvas dry. 

To finish my canvas, I did a few more things. I cut the Punchinella looking pieces from Black Cardstock using the Sizzix Mixed Media dies and tore them in pieces to fit the canvas. I applied the pieces using DIstress Collage Medium and a large Dina Wakley Brush.  To create the focal point, I cut the Faceted Heart and inked it with Salvaged Patina DIstress Ink. Then I adhered it together using Distress Collage Medium. I just hold it together for a bit and then let it dry on its own. To create the shiny texutre, I sprayed Distress Resist Spray on the Heart after placing it inside my splat box. Be careful when spraying this, it is like liquid glue so you don’t want to get it all over other stuff on your work surface. Then I added Salvaged Patina DIstress Embossing Glaze to add shine to the texture and heat the heart with my embossing gun to emboss it. 

Finally, I adhered the heart to the canvas using Distress Collage medium. I added a Theories Quote Chip and 2 Hardware Heads that I painted with Salvaged Patina DIstress Paint. I had so much fun making this project in all my favorite rainbow colors. I hope it brings some joy to your day!
