Bloggers Challenge Flies with Grungy Monday!
Bloggers Challenge Friday is "Birds" and Lisa tells us to go with however we interpret that theme. I was kind of busy over the weekend and then came Monday and we know that means, "Grungy Monday" with Linda. Since I have been "dieing" to use my new Tim Holtz Mini Bird and Cage movers and shapers, the wheels started turning! Simon Says Stamp and Show Anything but a Card, soo we are playing all three challenges with the two projects!
I had so much fun with the first, that despite doctors orders to lay off my left arm, we continued on. The technique we used today at GM, "Distress Ink with Studio Multi-Medium" is a video and so cool! I even pulled on the fun foam, which I have never used and made my own little stamps! The steps were followed in the video. The flower on the tag was colored with alcohol inks and then dipped in embossing ink and clear embossing powder. I also used the Cuttlebug Highlight technique from the Technique Junkies on both pieces. This was amazing and so much fun!
Why don't you come and play along at both challenges and have as much fun as I did! Can't wait to see what you all are up to and as always, thank you for the visit!

Totally awesome, Terry! I want that tiny birdcage die so badly!
Love the directions you have both the background AND the stamping on the birds & birdcage tag!!!
Ohhh Terry, these are so beautiful! Love the colors and your collage!
Very luverly Terry. Love what you have done on this tag. Might have to buy the mini dies for the birdcage now! This challenge is proving expensive!! The colours are right up my street too!! Well done!
I'm so glad you used those new dies-- they're awesome, and you made them even better with your skillful masking. I love the way you zigzagged the background paper-- that's one of those little things that takes a piece from pretty to "HOLY COW IT'S FABULOUS!"
Your second piece is every bit as wonderful, and the embossed butterflies are such a great touch. Everything you make is stunning, Terry.
You take care of that arm, girl.
Very nice projects. I love the mini bird cage tag with it's sunny colors.
love altered alice! You go. girl!
Such a pretty tag! Love the birds!
The technique is amazing on these projects Terry! Love the colors too! Hope you are having a super spiffy week m'dear! thank you for the sweet comments on my blog! :)
