Grungy Monday 06

This week we're off on a faux barnwood spree, you can see Tim's original project here, way back from 2007.  I've been trying to figure out what to do with this, then came up with an idea for a little notebook, the Ideology charm that says "simplify" is meant to imply that this little notebook carried with you might help simplify your life!  The notebook is made with the Bind-it-All and 1/2" rings.


The base is a manila tag, done with the technique linked above.  I embossed the edge of the tag with a Cuttlebug edge folder then highlighted with white pigment ink. The butterfly is one of the new Tim Holtz mover&shaker dies - I fit it inside the Ornamental die to cut them out.  Then I embossed with an embossing folder in my Cuttlebug.  Inked the edges with Worn Lipstick distress ink and a dusting of glimmer mist spray.  Be sure to check out Linda's Studio L3  blog for other great ideas using this technique!

supplies:
manila tag
Lake Mist paint dabber
TPC Studio stamp
Sizzix butterfly die, Cuttlebug embossing folders

Love this, Squirrely One! Sure jelled quickly. Love the look of it. Lots of texture and levels. Is that the right word to use?

This is a great idea! Really lovely colours. Like how you use the m&s dues - I use the tag die myself!

Nancy, this is absolutely darling! What a treasure you've created with the sweet notebook. It's perfect for the GM06 faux woodgrain technique, and the stamping, butterfly and Idea-ology pieces compliment it beautifully. Awesome job!
