Happy Monday, and happy Valentine's Day Eve, blog friends! Tonight, Cupid loads up his sleigh and hitches up eight tiny reindeer....
Oh, wait.
Actually, he loads up his quiver with heart-shaped arrows and shoots them randomly at unsuspecting mortals.
But enough about that. How 'bout we celebrate the holiday like this:
Valentines Day, Tim Holtz-Style!
Background card is Tim Holtz/Core'dinations Distress paper. Inside panel is from the Idea-ology Seasonal Paper Stash; it's stamped randomly with Fired Brick Distress Ink using Tim's large Harlequin Stamp from the Creative Textures set by Stampers Anonymous. Sentiment is from the Love Struck set. It's stamped with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink, embossed with clear powder, then edged with Bronze UTEE.
Rose was made with the Sizzix Tattered Pinecone and Mini Leaf dies. The hearts were cut from Grungeboard using Tim's Alterations Mini Heart Set. They were inked with Fired Brick Distress Ink, then coated with clear UTEE. During the melting process, I sprinkled some Bronze UTEE onto the hearts to give them a mottled look. The ribbon was colored with Evergreen Bough Distress Ink.
Just to make our Valentine challenge even more fun, our friends at Simon Says Stamp will be giving one of this week's participants a $25 shopping spree in their amazing online shop! With all those new products rolling in, someone is going to have a great time with that extra treat!

Thanks so much for being part of Grungy Monday! Have a spectacular week, and watch out for random, heart-shaped arrows!
Hugs,
Linda

Great challenge again Linda! Loved joining in! Happy Valentine's Day to you!
Love this Challenge and I had a blast playing with one of my favorite Tim Holtz Stamp Sets :-)
Hi Linda. The projects that have been uploaded are fabulous. I hope to get back to my art before I kill myself cleaning, tossing and reorganizing our storage closets. I will put the shredding company in business for at least a day. The mess in my craft area has robbed me of my muse so once everything is back in place I hope to create, especially the 12 tags of 2012 which could be combined with grungy monday, don't you think?
Hugs,
Carolyn
Wonderful challenge Linda! I love your beautiful card!

Hi Linda: Great technique for your heart- looks like metal.
Glad to be back to Grungy Monday challenges!Sharon
I wonder what would happen if you added some perfect pearls to glossy accents as it dried? One day I'll get a melting pot.
