Grungy Monday #15 ....

Good Evening all ... I am glad to say that I have finally managed to rejoin the wonderful weekly challenge that is Grungy Monday hosted by the lovely Linda L ... This challenge explores all things Tim, the (Duke of Distress), whether it be his techniques or products! ... okay so to find out more ....

about this weeks challenge and be transported to the world of TIM HOLTZ, click on this weeks link which is 12 TAGS OF CHRISTMAS - DAY 7 - 2007

I won't give away the details but this is such a cool technique. I started out with blank cardstock and inked the tag with Distress Inks inWeathered Wood, did this weeks technique then blended with Rusty Hinge. I have used Archival Ink (Jet Black) to stamp the images onto more Weathered Wood cardstock then aged with Vintage Photo. The edges have been distressed using Tim's Paper Distresser and inked with Walnut Stain!

Don't forget to check out the lovely inspirational samples from this weeks Guest Designers! Enjoy the rest of your evening!

I'm also linking this to Tag It On where the theme this week is "Tim Holtz".
