I've had great fun over the last week experimenting with my Tim Holtz/Ranger products to find ways of creating faux rust. I've wanted to to this for a long time and as it is my turn to do a Destination Inspiration post over at A Vintage Journey, I saw this as my opportunity to get right down to it. I have rusting powder in my supplies and will often take time out to do a batch of objects with it and keep them in a little box for when I need rusty bits on a project, but sometimes you want something quickly and I now have five other ways I can use the paints, inks and embossing powders on my shelf in practically no time at all. All these can be seen in detail with step by steps and photos on the AVJ blog today. I also used a similar method in creating the rusty corners for the configuration box on my worn cover project last week which can be seen here. Here's how I did them. PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND AVOID BURNING YOUR FINGERS ON THE HOT METAL Dab vintage photo distress paint and dry. In layers, drying between them, dab on random splodges of aged mahogany, walnut stain and spiced marmalade distress paints. Using an embossing ink pen add splatters of distress powders in tea dye, vintage photo, walnut stain. At this point I was a little disappointed in the light tones the tea dye created so ........ Drip over a little butterscotch, honeycomb, teakwood and sunset orange alcohol inks. Eh voila, the rusty effect was achieved. Thanks for stopping by and if you would like to see other ways I devised for creating faux rust results from my experiments please pop over to AVJ for today's Destination Inspiration post. Have a great week. hugs Brenda xxx Updated with details from AVJ Good morning one and all it's Brenda here, I hope you are up for some serious metal work today. I've had it in my mind for ages to do this particular Destination Inspiration post because I love corroded metals and their wonderful colours. I also like to create faux metal effects, but I have a very limited number of techniques that can be used without spending lots of money on specialist supplies. So I thought I would experiment with distress products and ranger products to see what I could come up with. During my experiments I researched quite a bit about rusting and patinas and ended up focusing totally on using the products on my shelves to achieve different rusting effects. I hope you like the selection. Rusted wooden shapes Using distress paints and alcohol inks Dab vintage photo distress paint onto shape and heat dry (if you get the gun close enough it will create texture bubbles which look cool for this effect). In layers, drying between, dab on random splodges of aged mahogany, walnut stain and spiced marmalade DPs. Using an embossing ink pen add splatters of distress powders in rusty colours I used spiced marmalade, fired brick, vintage photo and walnut stain. Drip over a little butterscotch, honeycomb, teakwood and sunset orange (or any other rusty colours you have) alcohol inks. These turned out a bit too shiny for me so after a quick chat with CG Jenny who has shown us metallic techniques herself I sponged over a little matt medium and dabbed over the anti static bag after it had almost dried which has given it a more muted look. I suppose you could call this next one an out-take photo as this is the underside of the circular wooden shape above and I really like the effects of that too. Using distress paints and cinnamon Dab over with spiced marmalade, vintage photo and black soot distress paints. Whilst wet sprinkle over some cinnamon. (Yes ground cinnamon from the spice rack). With a paint brush stipple the colours and cinnamon together and finish off by dipping the cog in the left over cinnamon. Leave to dry and if you're anything like me you will help it along with your heat gun - oh boy the workroom did smell nice. When cool I rubbed off some of the excess powder and I think I will buy a spray matte varnish to seal it. Using re-inkers and sprays (or stains). Use gesso with wild honey, barn door, vintage photo and walnut stain re-inkers. With a palette knife 'splodge' colours over the shape and heat dry. Repeat the process again to get more texture layered again heat drying and getting some of those texture bubbles. To finish spray spiced marmalade, vintage photo and walnut stain in separate layers drying between each until desired effect is achieved. Using distress embossing powders. Stain the cog with vintage photo, spiced marmalade, barn door and walnut stain sprays or stains – dry. Add layers of vintage photo, mustard seed, spiced marmalade, fired brick, aged mahogany and walnut stain distress powders and bake them in together really well. Add more if needed until you are happy with the effects. Using distress paints, sprays and sand Paint the cog with any brown, red and orange distress paints you have - I used walnut stain, aged mahogany and spiced marmalade (I now want to try with other colours in those hues). Paint the colours on thickly and then dip the shape into ordinary fine sand and heat dry. When cool rub off excess sand and you are left with some great texture. Spray with vintage photo, spiced marmalade and barn door sprays. and heat dry. With your craft knife cut a few bits of the surface away and paint the gaps with the leftover spray inks. Now I have a whole collection to use in projects. Can you see there is a rogue cog here. Yes this one ...... It was one of my practice ones that came out too shiny and I added watery gesso to it and although it didn't get me the look I wanted I do like it for it's shabby appeal. So now I have a nice little collection to use in future projects and it just goes to show you can experiment with any supplies you have in the craft room to see what works for you. I have used Tim Holtz products here, but there are lots more paints on my shelves that I can experiment with. What about you? Have fun. hugs Brenda xxx
While grocery shopping last week I saw some little tart tins, 4 for $2. They were bright and shiny and I had an immediate urge to rust them up! I've only tried rusting a few times, so I am no expert but I'll give you a rundown on the process I used. Make sure your item is clean and free of grease. Even oil from your fingers can disrupt the process. Put a healthy dose of vinegar and a good sprinkling of coarse sea salt (regular table salt is ok too) in a shallow glass dish. Place your item in the dish and sort of splash the liquid all over. Leave it for an hour or so, then turn the item over and splosh that salt and vinegar all over it again. Do this a few times, then leave overnight. My tins were tarnished, but not rusted at this point. Note: If you look at the sides of the tart tins below, you will see a shiny band. This should give you some idea of how much liquid I used. The next day I added hydrogen peroxide to the vinegar/salt mix. This time I brushed the liquid on and let it dry, brushed more on, let it dry... and so on until I achieved the desired effect. The ones pictured below have about 4 coats of the solution and were left to 'age' overnight. Note: You can also use a spray bottle to apply the solution. A few words about the process. Safety first. You might want to wear gloves, and avoid getting the solution near your eyes, nose or mouth. Over the counter hydrogen peroxide is generally pretty safe BUT even domestic-strength solutions can cause irritation to the eyes, mucous membranes and skin... so be careful! DON'T add other ingredients if you aren't sure it's safe. Heaven forbid you start some kind of chemical reaction in your kitchen! Keep your area clean and make sure it does not come in contact with items you do not want to be rusted. And there you have it! Instant old ;)

Hi everyone! Bit of a different post today as I am here to show you some unfinished pieces... I was having a bit of an experimenting play with rust effects. I love using Andy Skinner's technique that he features here. I was having a play with the rust technique when I decided to use a different colour. Then I wondered what would happen if I used other colours rather than sticking to the Paynes Grey/Quincacridone Gold combo... So I set up some simple frames (as always!)...They were cut from cardboard - some had embossed card on them and some didn't...I added some rivets and beading with Decoart Liquid Glass. I then followed Andy's technique and covered them with sand texture paste. When that was dry I gave all of them a coat of Decoart Media Paynes Grey mixed with white acrylic paint ...then each got given different paint colors... ....lets see the difference... So here was the first one I was working on.... This one was intended for a collage background - When the time came to add colour I decided to add Decoart Media Transparent Yellow Iron Oxide acrylic paint with Quinacridone Gold...I loved the effect, so that was when I decided to try out other colours...and see what they do to the rust effect. This has extra Paynes Grey added to the corners for shading and is dry brushed with Decoart Media Burnt Umber acrylic paint. Here was the second one...a frame made with embossed card and liquid glass to add rivets and beaded edge... After the Paynes Grey/white acrylic paint had dried I added a wash of diluted Decoart Media Titan Buff - painted quite roughly - I intended to leave some patches of grey showing. This was followed by dry brushed streaks of Quinacridone Gold and some shading with Paynes Grey and Burnt Umber For the next frame I covered it with embossed card and after the Paynes grey/white acrylic coat was dry I covered it with a wash of Decoart Media Cobalt Turquoise Hue. This was then painted with Quinacridone Gold - concentrated more on the patches of texture paste and dry brushed everywhere else. The edges were shaded with Paynes Grey This frame was cut from card and has Liquid glass applied to the corners. This frame was made according to the directions in Andy's video and was given a Paynes Grey wash after the coat of Paynes grey/white acrylic paint. This is how I usually do rust and I just wanted to see a direct comparison...still fun to do though!..and a brilliant rust effect! This was cut from embossed card and again had the liquid glass as rivet effects. After the Paynes Grey/white paint was applied this frame got a wash of Decoart Media Raw Umber acrylic paint. This was followed by Quinacridone gold and Paynes Grey for shading with some additional Burnt Umber dry brushing.... And there are the frames - not quite finished...I realised as I was photographing them that I hadn't yet added a coat of Ultra matte Varnish...never mind! I'll do it later... They are so easy to do and so much fun - I had a great time working on this - especially as I am a little mojoless at the moment - So just working on these without a plan in mind for a project was so much fun...and now I have five projects to go on with.... Hope you liked these frames (and background!)...These will be featured on here throughout October...Come back soon to find out what the finished results look like! Thanks for being here! Happy Crafting! Laura xxx
Apologies for the delay, #FlickrFam. The Flickr Content Team got a little rusty through the Holiday season. We’re dusting off our Flickr Friday Selection Galleries and getting them public so everyone is up to date! The #Rust theme was easier than some of the next themes and we saw a lot more photos because of it! Here are our top selections. Feel free to add your favorite rust images in the comment section below using the format [FLICKR LINK].

Weathered, worn, and more than a bit rusty, but still holding tight. May we all strive to be as strong.
