Crafting Musketeers Challenge #9- Grunge

Happy 2014!

It is the first Crafting Musketeers challenge for 2014: Grunge!  I so enjoy doing the grunge style.  Ripping paper edges and playing with my Tim Holtz distress goodies is a blast.  My hands are always covered in ink afterwards. (Ink covered hands- what I think should be the international symbol for Tim Holtz.)  

For the grunge card I decided to go a little inspirational with every one starting their New Year's resolutions. To make it look like a weathered poster, I flicked water on it.  
The tab off to the side states "the journey is the destination".

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope to see your grunge project at Crafting Musketeers!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo

  5. GREAT CARD !! I was wondering if you liked the new stamps, isn't that brick one fabulous? I love how you used it on this card with all your other elements. If you like inky fingers, try Dylusions sprays sometime, if not, then avoid at all cost !
    Hope you all are well and had a great holiday !
