Your Grunge
Your Grunge
(Click on this link to get the deets on this challenge)
The word grunge appears in both challenges, and though that can mean different things, for me, it means grungeboard and grungepaper.....lots of each.
I decided to do a wall hanging, perfect for the resident artist (that would be me, though I may just gift this one).
Just about everything is grunge...paper or board. The base is GB cut with Tim's ornamental die.
I did the alcohol ink agate technique on GP cut from Tim's regal crest die (the banner and leaves). BTW, this technique calls for a specific paint dabber which I do not own, but found that a liquid pearls that I do have to be a good substitute. Just sayin'.....
The large flower is GP cut from Tim's tattered florals; the small flower, also GP was done with some of Wendy's stamps. The phrase "resident artist" is also a Wendy stamp.
What are you waiting for.....show your grunge!

Who knew Grunge could be so colorful and flowery? This is a great piece!! Kinda hard to part with, isn't it?
Beautiful hanging. Love the colours. And thanks for the tip on paint substitute as I don't have the particular one suggested either.

A great grungey wall hanging, Eileen. Fabulous!
Wow, Eileen, all that grunge on just one project--phew! Love every last detail. You did great improvising. I am afraid I am going to have to improvise on that one ingredient as well.
this is just GORGEOUS- loving it!
Truly fabulous!
What a beautiful piece you've created - absolutely wonderful. Love the colors. Guess I need to pull out the grunge board and paper I have and give it a try!
Gorgeous! Love the AI colors you chose, looks lovely with the flower, which I also love! And thanks for joining the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge!
Gotta say, I really like the way that flower comes out looking like leather. Love that.
This is lovely. Great grunge, great inky agate, and fantastic colours.

A perfect Grunge piece for both challenges! You rocked this one!
Grungeapalooza! That may be my favorite blog post title EVER! It's the perfect descriptor for this spectacular wall hanging, too. What a flat-out gorgeous work of grunge-tastic art, Eileen! Everything about it screams "COOL!" The AI Agate looks fab on the Regal Crest pieces, and the flowers are, you know, perfect! The Tim and Wendy combo is like peanut butter and chocolate-- it's a match made in heaven. Bravo, girlfriend!
very nice project!

Great grunge piece. I really like your darker color base with the splashes of color in your flowers and flourish. Such a perfect take on the "Your Grunge" theme. So happy you were able to join in the fun this week at Simon Says Stamp and Show.
