Simon Says - Grungy Monday on a Thursday

Once again I have been able to combine my two favourite Monday challenges - Grungy Monday's host Linda wants us to get playing with Grungeboard and/or paper which is one of my most favest Tim products ever - and the other lovely Linda hosting Simon Says - show us embossing. So.....

I started with a tag - spritzed it with water to make the Lettuce colourwash spread easier - cover the tag and dried it.  Using Snowcap white adirondack (I LOVE that ink!) I white embossed the Papillon background. That's for the Simon Says bit.

I die cut the dress form in grungepaper - that's the Grungy Monday bit - and used Fresco paints from Paperartsy (Toad Hall to base, then the fab crackle glaze and Snowflake on top to create the crackle) to paint it.  When that was dry I tied some sparkly green fibre round the waist and fixed it to the tag, coloured the cotton reel and button (don't tell Wendy but I didn't thread the button... apparently she hates that!) 

Then I took my (new - just came today!) Haberdashery stamp set and stamped the two cotton thread labels on grungepaper, coloured it with distress inks and embossed them in a texture fade sanded them to highlight the embossed pattern , fixing them to the tag with a couple of fasteners. Added a Wendy text on a scrap of watercolour paper and a piece of Tim's trimming (LOVE that stuff!)

Don't forget to check out both challenges, Simon Says has a $50 prize up for grabs too... that would be nice!!  Thanks for looking.
