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

Just stunning with so many inspirational words.

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 !
ReplyDeleteHope you all are well and had a great holiday !
