SL3 Grungy Monday #2

Well, I think I've mastered the challenge - well we'll see LOL. The Grungy Monday challenge this week over at Studio L3 was Distress Ink with Studio Multi Medium based on Tim Holtz's video showing the technique.

I created a card with a background stamp of script and butterflies. I then stamped two butterflies and a dragonfly similar to the background stamp using Matt Medium. I stamped them at least half way off the original stamp so that it looks like the butterflies and dragonfly are flying off the page - well, that was the effect I was going for anyway LOL.


The materials I used were:




  • Green, gold and white cardstock for the card and mats

  • Chipboard for the Tim Holtz Tag & Labels Alterations die for the sentiment

  • Hero Arts Clings "Antique Background" for the background of the card

  • Derivan Matisse Matt Medium for stamping the butterflies and dragonfly

  • Two of the butterflies from the "Butterflies" clear stamps by Stampendous

  • Dragonfly stamp from the "Organic Grace" wood mounted set by Stampin' Up!

  • Distress inks used on the background were Bundled Sage and Stormy Sky

  • Glimmer Mists used on the sentiment were Patina and English Ivy

  • Rhinestones by Basics

  • Walnut Stain distress ink used to distress edges of card mat and labels die, and used the Tim Holts Distressing Tool to rough up the edges of the card mat

  • Ribbon from my stash

  • Adhesives were ATG tape, Scotch Quick Dry adhesive, Glossy Accents for ribbon and pop dots
