Grungy Monday #17 .... Get Ready To Rock !

Time for a new challenge over at Grungy Monday hosted by the lovely Linda L .... this week we explore the amazing product(s) that is Rock Candy, click HERE to see the Duke of Grunge demoing these fab two products.

I started off by inking my manilla cardstock tag in DI (Weathered Wood & Vintage Photo), then spritzing some water and drying with a heat gun. All stamps are from Tim Holtz

I have painted Rock Candy Crackle Paint over the journalling tag, the stamped clock face & the metal Ideaology watch face . Rock Candy Distress Stickles have been added to the stamped image on the top left corner of the tag.

(A close up of the Rock Candy Crackle Paint inked over with Vintage Photo).

Be sure to check out the wonderful Guest Designers and their projects for this weeks "Get Ready To Rock theme".

I love this tag! particularly the crackled texture of the metal clock and the background. Not too many colors and a very good collage of stamps.

Hi Gillian, I really like how you used the rock candy on the watch face, that turned out really awesome. Love the color combination, warm and calming.
