CC3C Challenge #2 - Distress Glitter

I'm so happy that I was able to put something together for challenge #2 since I missed the first one!!  The technique chosen for this week's Compendium of Curiosities Vol 3 challenge, hosted by the Linda Ledbetter and the Curiosity Crew, is Distress Glitter on page 56.  The sponsor for this week, with a $25 gift certificate, is the Funkie Junkie's Boutique!

For my project I created a canvas using one of the burlap canvas panels from the District Market collection.  I've been hoarding them so I decided it was time to put one to use!  The photo is of my maternal grandparents.  They never went to Paris but I just love this photo of them!

As you can see I glittered up Tim's Sizzix Alterations Eiffel Tower and then distressed it with walnut DI.  The trellis pieces are leftover from my April Tag of 2014.  I dabbed the mirror trellis with some latte alcohol ink to add some interest.  The remaining embellishments include a French railroad ticket from the new Idea-ology Expedition Ephemera Pack, a hotel sticker from the Lost and Found Salvage Stickers, a crown from the Idea-ology Adornments Regal collection, and a band from the Idea-ology Observation Wordbands collection.  I mounted the photo on a piece of Tim's French Industrial paper stash, distressed it with walnut DI and the added the words from the Idea-ology Life Quotes and Words rub-on sets.

Thanks for stopping by!
