Rusted Grunge!
Page 45 of Tim Holtz's A Compendium of Curiosities
Welcome back! Boy oh boy, did the holidays ever fly by, or what?! I hope yours were lovely, and I'm really excited to get back to our weekly Compendium of Curiosities Challenges. I've missed you guys!
This week's technique, Rusted Grunge, is super easy and a great way to add lots of fun texture and instant antique-iness to your artwork. Once again, I'm blown away by the brilliance of Distress Embossing Powder. What an ingenious invention!
To really start 2011 off with a bang, this week's prize is from that super-special box of joy sent by Tim and Mario themselves! Behold the wonder of Holtzian Goodness:
Check out the Tiny Attacher. It's autographed!
Tim and Mario, you're The Best!
To be eligible to win this Tim Holtz Extravaganza, simply create your own art using the Rusted Grunge technique and link it to this blog via the InLinkz button at the bottom of this post. You're in the running as long as you honor these two simple rules:
1. Follow the technique as it's written in A Compendium of Curiosities (adding your own special flair, of course!); and
2. Out of respect to Tim, please don't post the technique instructions on your blog!
Challenge 26 is open until 8 pm MST next Sunday, January 9, and I can't wait to see what you create with the Rusted Grunge Technique!
Have an awesome, art-y week, everyone!

Linda, I see you're in the Valentine's spirit with that tag! I love it! The embossing and the diecut are wonderful!
A great technique on a wonderful tag....I love the contrast between the delicate background and the rusted grunge. Beautiful!
