Grungy Monday 03: Exploring Tim Holtz Adirondack Color Wash!

Featuring Special Guest Star Designers

Hels Sheridan and Kate Taylor

Sponsored by Outlaw Woman Scrapbook Emporium!

Thanks to everyone who helped make Grungy Monday 02 so much fun! Your Distress Ink with Studio Multi Medium art was spectacular, and I hope you had as much fun creating it as I had admiring it.

This week, we're offering a Tim Holtz Product Challenge. Now's your chance to play with (and fall in love with) the new Ranger Adirondack Color Wash! If you've used it, you know how amazing this intense, textile/wood/canvas/paper-friendly spray dye is, and if you haven't used it, it's going to rock your world!

Here's what your GM03 Design Team created to help inspire you:

We have a sponsor this week! Say hello to Robyn Weinrib and Outlaw Woman Scrapbook Emporium!

Outlaw Woman Scrapbook Emporium is wonderful club that offers Heavily Discounted Paper Crafting Supplies to its members, giving artists a means to further themselves and grow in their art without breaking the bank! Membership is free, and once you join you're able to view prices and shop at the Emporium. You'll also be part of their Yahoo Group, where you'll join online friends to discuss products and enjoy special challenges and swaps in a supportive community.

Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium is a division of Robyn Weinrib's I Did It Creations. Robyn and her Outlaw Woman co-proprietor, Jeanette Waters, are both are avid scrapbookers, stampers and mixed media artists, and they work hard to supply their shop with virtually every papercrafting product on the market. Their partnership is built on deep friendship in which they share the same goals for women in the art community. Everyone is invited to join their club and shop in the Emporium! As Robyn says, "So many times in our economy we put our creating on the back burner. With the prices at OWSE, no longer does our art have to take the back burner. We can afford to create and at times sell our creations and grow in our own inner selves through our artwork and creativity."

Robyn is generously offering a $20 gift certificate to the winner of this week's challenge! To be eligible, simply create your own work of art for Grungy Monday 03 and link it to this post before the challenge ends on Sunday, April 17 at 8 pm MDT. Robyn will choose the winner and I'll announce their name on my blog on or before Thursday, April 21. Please be aware that, since there's very little markup on the products in the shop, the winner will need to pay shipping on their prize.

Please be aware, since this is a Tim Holtz Product-Specific Challenge, you are required to use actual Ranger Adirondack Color Wash to participate.

You'll need to have your own blog or an online, public photo album to link from, and you can easily submit your work using the InLinkz gadget at the end of this post. 

Please be sure to include a link to Tim's website (www.timholtz.com) in your blog post or photo description. I'd appreciate it if you'd link back to Studio L3, too!

By the way, Robyn also has a fabulous digital art shop of her own. Check out Robyn's Fetish via this link.

Don't forget to share your art at the All Things Tim group! Lovely List Mom Gloria has created a photo especially for Grungy Monday. You'll love the community there, and find TONS of inspiration and support!

Okay, Tim Fans, go forth and create! I can't WAIT to see what you do with Color Wash, and I hope you have a great week.

Thanks to Hels, Kate and Robyn!
