grungy monday

Hi world
The  start of another week and another Grungy Monday challenge from Linda Ledbetter over  at  Studio L3.
 Her challenges celebrate all things by Tim Holtz
This week I find another technique from Tim that I have not seen before.
 The  wood grain background is very clearlt explained on his blog



I didnt have much time today in fact I didnt even start until about 5 pm. I dont think I quite did the technique justice. But here it is anyway

I decided to make a book mark tag for a friend who is always reading.
These are the products I used;
salmon paint dabber
Distress Inks antique photo, old pages

Book stamp from Elusive Images ,I made 2 pages
Paper flowers which I sprayed with  sunset orange colour wash and dusted with orange cosmic shimmer.
Upon a time die cut alphabet dusted with red bronze cosmic shimmer



I squished, folded and rolled the pages so they looked older.



Take a look at all the lovely art on the Studio L3 blog its great to be nosey LOL

  2. This is wonderful. And such a perfect gift for a reader -- I'd enjoy it, as I'm a "book worm", too. Nice job.
