Grungy Monday #1

There is a new challenge in town called Grungy Monday  - it is Tim Holtz inspired, so it's got to be good!!  I was inspired to play along when I saw my friend Gunn's gorgeous grunge tag.  The deadline is Sunday 3 at 8pm so I had to quickly create something!



I used some DCWV DP from the Once Upon a Time series, and lightly sponged it with Vintage Photo Distressing Ink.

Added some torn music from an old hymnal, sponging the edges.


Along with an embossed Reindeer from the Layers of Color Reindeer Waltz art stamp set.


 have made my own version of Tim Holtz Vintage flower, adding some divine vintage bling, also from Gunn - thanks Gunn!!

The leftover torn hymnal has been pleated and added along the lower edge of the tag, with two rows of paper piercing added.  The sentiment is from some stickers from Echo Park

This project is also for the following challenges:
Marks Finest Papers - Spotlight any Animal on your card/project
Card Makin' Mama's - Embellish It
Fabulous Friday - Use Bling
Totally PaperCraft - One for the Boys
