Grungy Monday 13!

Pin It

With Special Guest Star Designers:

Welcome to the Lucky 13 Edition of Grungy Monday! This week, we're heading over to one of my favorite places in the real world and online: Ranger Ink! I bet you enjoy Tim's instructional videos as much as I do, so I'll stop yammering so you can check out this week's challenge, as presented by Mr. Holtz himself:


I've been looking forward to this challenge for weeks. I absolutely LOVE Adirondack Alcohol Ink. It's so much fun to work with and has that wonderful and rare quality of being perfect on non-porous materials like glass, metal and plastic. And, those colors! Vibrant, clear... gorgeous! 

How 'bout we check out our Guest Star Designers' spectacular art? Huge accolades to: 

Celina Matthews


Suzanne Bouchard 

Are those gorgeous, or what? Please be sure to follow the links to our Guest Artists' blog and leave them some comment love. Suzanne and Celina, you are rock stars!

Here's mine:

Ready to get all alcohol inky? I love this stuff! Follow the link above to bask in Tim's video inspiration, then create your own awesome version and link it up here using the InLinks button at the end of this post. You'll need to have a blog or an online, public photo album to link from. Don't forget to include the link to Tim's video in your post or photo description!


Remember to add your masterpiece to the Grungy Monday photo album at All Things Tim, a Yahoo Group especially for Tim Holtz fans! Lovely List Mom Gloria and the gang there are wonderfully supportive and incredibly creative. If you haven't joined yet, hop on over and do it!!!

Have a spectacular week, everyone!
