Guess who's into the weathered, beaten-up look?

Given my recent resolve to use my Tim Holtz/Ranger stash, I've been really into the weathered, beaten-up look. :) Here is my hardworking bookend cum remote control holder for LESSology Challenge #15: The Bookend Challenge.

I adhered scrunched-up wrapping tissue to a wooden holder using gel medium. Then I proceeded to "distress" it with distress inks [for the different tones], distress embossing powder [for the gritty, grainy texture] and misted with walnut stain [let it drip into the crevices and dry naturally overnight].

Here's how it looks holding my remote controls and propping up my sketch journals. :)

Supplies: Prima canvas letters, Ranger distress inks, embossing powders and glossy accent, Maya mist, EK Sucess walnut ink, Graphic 45 patterned papers, Claudine Hellmuth gel medium, wooden holder, wrapping tissue.
