Inking Grunge

Can't believe we're already into the 8th week of the Compendium challenge!  This one was a no-brainer but came at a good time.  I'm getting ready to re-organize my stamp room and my head is really wrapped up with what I want to do, what I want to delete from my room, etc. 

Inking Grunge can be found on page 39 of the book and that's where you'll find the instructions on how to ink your grungeboard and grungepaper.  I don't know how I ever lived without this really cool and easy technique; it appears in most of my art these days.

The stamps are all Tim's; the inks all by Ranger.  The tag actually looks and smells like real leather!  I just love grungeboard and grungepaper!!!

If you're participating in the challenge (and if you're not, how come???) I hope you're enjoying the creativity that is showing up on Linda's blog and the ATT yahoo group.  You never know when your name might be chosen to win some really cool Tim toys!

  5. It's fabulous, Susan! The colors you used and the stamping really make this looks like a vintage leather label! I love the hot pink stamp-- what a great contrast to the neutral tones!

    Have a blast reorganizing your studio! I always find things I've forgotten I own when I do mine!
