Funk in the Junk #7

I'm a little out of order,  here,  but this is my tag... (Team Clark: I added more pix for you... had time today!  :))

...for the Funkie Junkie 12 Tags of Xmas #7...which is sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique.  Here is Linda's card:

I was inspired by the blue and silver colors,  obviously,  and I ran with it, as I was the recent recipient of a Lunagirl gift certificate, and I bought the Blue Xmas sheet. So cool. I recommend checking the Lunagirl site out.  (I'm trying to stay away because I'm still saving my pennies for the finishing touches of my scrap-shack...  freaking French doors... going to cost as much to ship as the doors themselves...) Anyway, I digress...

Two good shout-outs to two awesome blog sponsers!

Supplies and notes:

• Like I said,  the image is from Lunagirl. I printed it into 65# Core'dinations cardstock,  then I used my new fave technique to seal it: Mod Podge applied with a hotel keycard. I popped up the image over the ribbon and encyclopedia page.  Oooh, I also copied what my Blog-friend Pia has done (on this card, for example) and sprinkled a little Frantage over the image to look like snow!  Thanks for the inspiration, Pia! I used Shabby Blue Frantage, FYI
• There is an old library card and an old encyclopedia scrap (nobody would normally see,  but it's the "Christmas" page... I took a close-up for your viewing pleasure, haha)
• Seam binding from a variety store that was going out of business 
• Tim Holtz buttons, shanks removed
• Wilton flower stamens dabbed with some Walnut Stain Distress Paint 
• Stickles glitter in Ice 
• The library card was originally painted with Tim Holtz's Distress Paint in Picket Fence but it didn't give me the streakiness I desired. So then I screwed up my silver Distress Stain by being impatient. For the final layer,  I painted my woodgrain stamp with Chipped Sapphire Distress Paint and stamped it. The verdict? Too much blue. I almost wish I would have made the woodgrain brown.
