Get It In Gear ATC

Okay, so long time no post.  I think the saying on my project here, "get it in gear" is quite fitting :)  I am finally getting around to crafting again---and loving it!!  Here I have done an ATC and altered a photo clip stand to match.  I am posting this for two challenges:

Simon Says Stamp and Show:  ATC

Grungy Monday #2

Okay, so really need to figure out why this keeps happening----images I have rotated in Photoshop won't upload to blogger that way---they revert back to sideways (as the picture was taken).  If anyone knows how to remedy this I sure would appreciate it if you would email me.

This is for the new blog challenge Grungy Mondays hosted by Linda over at StudioL3.  This challenges are done using the the influence of Tim Holtz whether it by techniques, products, ideas or sheer inspiration from him.  This particular project is linked to a video of Tim demo-ing a technique for Ranger.  To see the video click here.

For this technique my images didn't show up all that well.  Think I used a bit too much Matte Multi Medium.  Used what I created to enhance this card I made for my hubby's bday tomorrow.  If you look close enough you can see on the ripped text paper a steampunk like image to the right on a small ruler image on the ripped piece on the left.  I used packaging from one of Tim's idea-ology products to create the pocket watch to make it 3D.


Supplies:

**Distress Inks:  Broken China and Wild Honey
**Studio Matte Multi Medium
**old text book paper
**recycling packaging
**Gear stamp by Technique Tuesday
**Steampunk image/ruler image/pocketwatch image stamps by 7 Gypsies
**Enjoy the Journey Stamp and chain for the pocketwatch stamp by Recollections
**Stazon inkpads: black and metallic copper
**copper Perfect Pearls

Added note:  Oozak carries the distress inks as well as many other Tim Holtz products such as the new stamp sets out and new stains.
