You’ve got it, today is about working with Tim Holtz’s idea-ology Grungeboard.  Have you had a chance to play with it?  This is the most fantastic medium.  You can ink it, stamp it, use paint, cut it, curl it, get your aggressions out and pound on it, you name it!  I’ve got to hand it to Tim for developing such an awesome product.

Here is my very first attempt with Grungeboard.  I’m not an expert with it, but man is it fun! I stayed pretty basic with my techniques, but was thrilled with the results.  I used crackle paint on the butterfly wings and heart, when they were dry, I stamped with Walnut Stain.  Oh, and I used a left over tag from Monday.  :o)
