Ticket to ride

If you haven't played with alcohol inks lately, now's the time to get them out and do some pouncing!  The latest Grungy Monday theme is based on Tim's Ranger video all about alcohol inks.  A lot of inking took place for on this #11.  There's also alcohol ink ideas on the eclecticPaperie blog hog today through Monday, July 4th...plus 5 giveaways. 

A bit of Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, and Peeled Paint Distress Inks were applied to make the tag look aged.  Next came Tim's bicycle stamp in Saffron, Monarch Orange (new colors!), and Crimson (retired) Archival Inks.  For the fun bit...pouncing Lemonade, Butterscotch, Peach Bellini, Terra Cotta, Red Pepper, Latte and Ginger on 3 different pieces of glossy cardstock. 

Tim's stamps (3 Men, calendar page and bicycle background info) were stamped in Jet Black and Coffee Archival Inks.  The ticket stamp was stamped on white cardstock and aged with whatever brown was on my blending tool.  After looking up a possible year for this calendar page, I handwrote the message using a Sharpie.  (ffrom the sets of Steampunk, Pen & Pencil, Odds and Ends, Calendar)

The word 'ride' was stamped using Hero Arts Quill LowerCase Letters in Espresso Adirondack Ink and my trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig (sorry Tim, I do overthink sometimes!).

Miscellaneous:  Maya Road bingo piece (day of the race), gold chain, brads, black cardstock, Idea-ology gear
