Are you a grungy inker? Do you like inking grunge? If so hop over to the lovely Linda's blog Studio L3 where you will find details of this week's challenge working from Tim Holtz' book 'Compendium of Curiosities' - page 39 to be precise. This week Linda has chosen 'Inking Grunge' and it's one of Tim's basic techniques.
I used Grunge Paper and Sizzix tag and flower die cut shapes. Although it wasn't part of the technique, I also embossed the background of the tag.
I used quite a few different colours of Distress Ink even though from the finished tag it looks like I only used about three! It's great how all the Distress Inks blend so well together.
I finished the tag with a couple of buttons and a piece of sari ribbon which just happened to co-ordinate beautifully with the colours I used.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look - I must now go and wash the all grungy ink off my fingers!
