TodayÂ’s Ways to Use It Challenge is Get Grungy! I think a tool pegboard would be grungy enough, but I also grunged up background quite a bit.
To make the large bg, I glued some heavy duty aluminum foil to card stock & embossed it. I covered the entire piece with white acrylic paint & after it dried, I sponged on some Distress inks then sanded some areas down. The pegboard was die cut out of dp & the edges were sponged before I attached all the tools. I also used foil covered c/s for the tool heads. A couple of screw head brads were attached to the greeting.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff
