Full Throttle

I've wanted to make a "boy" page for a while now and have been sorting photos of my grandson.
The motor bike he is riding was his mother's.  She was given it when she was 3 years old.  She is now almost 30.  Blair is 5 years old in this photo :)

 For me, this was really just an opportunity to play with some new goodies I got last week.  First off, I used the Art Alchemy paint, Metallique Brass Hardware.  I'm really happy with the amount of shimmer this put on the page.  Then I played with some Art Alchemy Metallique Wax.  It's a very soft creamy medium that you rub on to give things an aged look.  I only had chipboard gears so I wanted them to look like metal.  It worked brilliantly :)

As you can see, they look quite rusty.  I also had some screw heads and other little bits (Metal Embellishments - Mini Hardware) so I used those also.

 

 

To finish off, I added some paint splatters because it still looked a little bare for my liking.  I really had fun making this one.  Let me know what you think.
