Grungy Monday #8

There's a new Grungy Monday challenge over at Studio L3 this week.  The challenges focus on the fabulous tutorials and techniques of Tim Holtz.  Check out Studio L3 for all the details and a link to this week's technique.

This week involves using Adirondak ink pads of which I own one in bottle green.  This limited my options somewhat so I decided to go for a background stamp.
I'm really glad I gave it a try as I love the results and will definitely use it with this same background again.  I've even added the extra bit of splattering as suggested by Sir Tim in his tutorial, before stamping over with swirl and lamp from an Inkadinkado set. 
I've used Tim's dressmakers dummy die, sprayed with Glimmer Mist, stamped with a French Market stamp and painted with Distress Crackle Paint (yet more  Tim products).
As well as Grungy Monday I'm entering 2 other challenges.  Sunday Stamper #155 - Diamonds and Pearls and My Time To Craft #142 - Use a die cut.

Kate, your stamp choice is great-- it worked beautifully for the GM08 technique, and the background is perfect for the darling dress form. I love how you embellished this-- the fibers and tiny butterflies are lovely!

Bottle and Stream are two of my faves. Fun that you have one of them. Your background turned out so pretty. Sets off the rest of the card beautifully.

I love the way you have used the technique to make a background. I am a little biased about the die cut though!! Love everything about this piece!! Hugs x
