L3 industrial grunge

This is the card I made for studio L3 this week. As you can see on the picture below, I got the inspiration from the lovely autumn colours we enjoy right now.
I followed the instructions on p. 54 from Tim Holtz' book " a compendium of curiosities", and I really like that technique.

Happy fall to you all out there!

Black for Scrappy Accents and Wrinkle-Free Distress for Studio L3

At Scrappy Accents Jaine would like us to create something in the colour black.
At the same time Linda at Studio L3 would like us to show some examples of Wrinkle-Free Distress a la Tim Holtz "CCC #16."
I used a catstamp from Cherry Pie Art Stamps, the colours "black sot" and "weathered would" from Rangers , a black lace and some stickers.

Wish you all a nice evening!

Studio L3 "inking grunge"

Page 39 in Tim Holtz's book " a compendium of curiosities".

This week at studio L3 the theme is "inking grunge".

I used grungepaper with my nestabilities and a heart aswell as the hinge of grungeboard.
Right now I just adore the colours olive, tumbled glass, weathered wood and tea dye, so of course these were the chosen ones for this project...
Stamps are mostly from Cherry Pie and Paperartsy.
Great fun! Again...

( and now I have VERY inky fingers...!)

Studio L3

The other day, I had some time for myself and I spent it surfing the net. Suddenly I found the studio L3 where a Linda makes challenges using Tim Holtz' book "a compendium of curiosities".
SOOO because I have that book I thought I would like to have a go.
This week it's about page 55, tinted vision fragments, using the alcohol inks.

Making this journal page, I ended up using TH's embossing folder "collage and notebook set", TH's collection stamps, TH's distress inks, TH's alcohol inks (current, silver, pearl, eggplant and ginger) AND a stampotique stamp.

I used a picture of Frida Kahlo from a magazine and tinted the fragments on different eyes to get a bit of a "groovy" effect... AND of course I had to doodle a bit - just waiting for my new doodle-pen to arrive...

Hope somebody out there likes it!
