As a neat freak, I don't do messy - well apart from my craft room! I like quite clean projects so a grungy look is way out of my comfort zone - but I was playing with my crimper and came up with this card.
I gritted my teeth and tore my cardstock and dirtied it all up with lots of daubing in Always Artichoke and Crumb Cake ink.
I used a border of orange to add some zing - and I think I quite like it. I guess it could be a Christmas card to send to a man! DH likes it. LOL
I will be back soon with something much more girlie for Christmas!
It's grungy, but so fun! I agree with you about the border...perfect amount of "zing" with the red. The crimper gives great texture, too. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL this sounds like me, I really struggle with anything tearing related! This looks fab though!

I'm good with tearing, finally. I need to work on USING my embellishments now. It's so hard for me to do that. LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the card!
Cool! I love it! I hate tearing paper too but the results here look great.
ReplyDeleteLoved the natural look it has.... If not read how u made it, I would think it was a beautiful sketch well planned out & executed.... Kudos!!!!

Love the bit of grunge look, it came out great! And thanks for reminding me of my crimper collecting dust, may just have to pull it out!
