Double Monday again!

Hi everyone and welcome to another week of challenges!

Today I managed to combine two of my favourite challenges again - Simon Says show us distressed/ torn edges - and Linda for the new Grungy Monday sends us to this great Tim technique from 2008 -

I made a card and have some torn and some distressed edges!

I don't have a craft iron so have to remember to turn the steam setting off on my domestic one!!

For the Grungy Monday challenge, I used the Wendy stars for the technique with bundled sage ink, and victorian velvet, stormy sky and crushed olive for the tag.

To meet the Simon Says challenge, I distressed the edges of the tag with my tonic distresser and layered it on some torn Kraft paper on a blank card.



Make sure you check out both blogs for some amazing talent and at Simon Says, the chance to win  a fab prize.

    Helen, this is incredibly pretty, and I'm so excited that you used the stars stamp, too! I love seeing the same images used in different ways, and you truly used it wonderfully! Beautiful colors, too. You have officially ROCKED Grungy Monday!

    You know, Victorian Velvet has never been one of my favorite colors, but I love it on your tag! I'm totally inspired to start using it. Fantastic work!
