Grungy Monday #16 ....



Saturday already .... hmmmm slightly late with my piece for this weeks Grungy Monday challenge hosted by the lovely Linda L, anyways better late than never as they say. This week we are celebrating one of Tim Holtz's signature creations ..... "GRUNGEBOARD"!


My Grungeboard elements are from Tim's Alterations range "Artful Dwellings & Mini Bird & Cage Set. I used various DI in Crushed Olive, Walnut Stain & Vintage Photo. I used Archival Ink (Coffee) to stamp all the images .... now talking of STAMPS, I am beyond excited that my new stamps arrrived from across the pond. Oh my lordy lol I can see these are going to be used like forever and ever.

I'm green with envy about your new stamps - I did get the new distress stains yesterday though! I need to figure out what new stamps I need -- er want from the new release!
Hugs,

What a spectacular design, Gillian! The stamping is indeed awesome, and the colors are beautiful together. I love the fun, funky look with the little hand and the escaped bird-- really clever and cool. Great job on the Grungeboard challenge!
