Valentine Grunge Blog Hop

Hi and Thank you for hopping with us!  I want to thank Ruby our Design Team Coordinator for putting this together and Rhonda, our Guest Designer!

I love Grungy stuff but this was really a CHALLENGE for me!  So I had all the ingredients but kept moving things, adding things and taking away things and adding them back!

So here is my Project . . . Ta Daaaaaaaaaaaa!   Ok, so I am pretty proud of this!

I used Kraft paper for the card base which is 6 x 6 distressed with Tim Holtz Gathered Twigs Ink.

I then used the Spellbinders Grand Labels One to cut the Rockin' Red Corrugated Sheet By Jillibean Soup, also distressed with Tim Holtz Gathered Twigs Ink.

Then I used the Spellbinders Postage Stamp dies to cut two out of Kraft and one out of Red Coredination's paper.  Before die cutting the smallest Kraft one, I stamped A Jillian Vance Design heart background stamp from the Sending My Love Stamp Set, then die cut it, it fits perfectly into the open area of the die.  I then distressed all pieces with Tim Holtz Gathered Twigs Ink too ~ I love this ink color! The perfect rich brown! 

Then I stamped the red paper with the 14th stamp from the same stamp set along with the postmark stamp in Black Archival ink and used my Epiphany Crafts Heart 25 shape tool and bubble.  I die cut hearts from Rockin' Red Corrugated Sheet By Jillibean Soup using the Scalloped Hearts Spellbinders dies and used the Sprightly Sprockets Nestiboard and Bling by Want 2 Scrap designed by Donna Salazar.  I won a kit from her Ustream the other evening and it was perfect for this project!  The small tag was also from the kit.  I inked it with Tim Holtz Gathered Twigs Ink and Aged Mahogany ink and stamped the sentiment in Black Archival Ink.  

The Rinkle Ribbon (by AJVD) was also stamped with the Black Archival ink and the sentiment from Sending My Love Stamp set.  I used the Tim HOltz tiny attacher to staple the ribbon onto the tag!

The key was from a kit from the Tim Holtz class at Summer CHA .

Thanks for hopping by ~ I am happy with all my rearranging and proud of my Grunge Project!
