Grungy Monday 24 (Plus a Way Cool Prize)!

Pin It

Hello, there, blog friends! It's time for another celebration of all things distressed, shamble-ized and awesomely Holtzian! This week, we're heading over the the Ranger Ink site, where Tim has a fantastic video tutorial just waiting for you...


This is a classic Tim technique, and rightly so. It's simple, quick, and produces such cool results. With the myriad of ink and Perfect Pearls combos to be played with, the results are always fun and fresh!

Being a Halloween nut, I took one last opportunity this year to celebrate, but you can go with any theme you wish.


To play along at home, create your own work of art using the Perfect Distress technique, upload it to your own blog or online, public photo album, then add it to this post using the InLinkz link below. Please remember to include a link to this week's inspiration video in your post or photo description.

Don't forget to share your creation at the All Things Tim group, too! Lovely List Mom, Gloria, has a special photo album just for your Grungy Monday masterpieces!
So, have a great week...

Oh, wait! I almost forgot the prize!

As you might know, Tim and Mario sometimes offer limited-edition buttons at special events. During the cruise this year, Mario had a few sets of these very cool, very rare buttons with some of Tim's "signature" sentiments. I got one for me (of course!) and bought a second one to give away, which Tim was gracious enough to autograph. One of this week's participants is going to be sent this set of buttons! I'll announce the winner, who will be chosen by random number generator, in next week's GM post.



Okay, now go have yourselves a great week! Can't wait to see what you create.

Hugs,
Linda

You never know what you'll get with all the color combos available! Wow, it would be fun to add a Tim pin to my apron!

I had to give this one a couple of tries and it's one that is more visual in person, but gives a very fun effect especially for Halloween.

Hi Linda, so good to have you back. Glad to hear you enjoyed your time away. I have only just had time to join in with the challenge this time around, been so busy with DT pieces.

I can't even BEGIN to tell you how excited I am to have stumbled across this! I will be back and playing as much as time allows, I LOVE to get inky!~ AND- you are in Boise too. Wonder how many times we have bumped into each other at one store or another and I never knew I was in the presence of such talent?
