GRUNGY MONDAY



I have finally finished my tag for Linda's grungy monday challenge. http://studiol3.blogspot.com/
This technique turned out to be a bit of a real challenge for me.
Firstly I only have 2 colours of crackle paint ..... rock candy (clear) and peeled paint (aka sludge green).
I used the peeled paint first but didn't like how it turned out as it was a bit dark with the pink.




The second tag was better,  here I used the glittery rock candy with pink underneath and mahogany on top.


I made this into a card for my daughter's 21st birthday card. She is a bit of a pink Princess.



Following a comment on my   WOYWW  post I decided to have another go at the first tag and inked the life.... into it .

I quite like the way it turned out in the end. All the embellishments were left over from other projects. yeh! recycling.
The bird is die cut from shiney silver card and inked with alcohol inks
The flower is die cut leather.


I am also entering in the following challenges

  1. Love the colors on both projects. Isn't it great when a "mistake" turns into great art? :)
