a pin i made

using grungeboard by tim holtz and his crackle paint

i shrunk down some pictures of a grrrly skull and glued them (on the back) over the eyes so the skulls showed through on the front. i did this AFTER the crackle paint. after the crackle paint was dry, i used a bit of distress ink and i glued on some tiny rose buds i picked up somewhere (i think they were actually stickers). i then glued a piece of paper over the back just so the eyes wouldn't get poked out. i coated the whole front (then the back too) in diamond glaze. the last step was gluing on a pin back


i was inspired by margot potter the impatient crafter (i have posted the video below before, but it's so cool, why not post it again???)

i just discovered something i'd never heard of before!

grungeboard from tim holtz

i'm not really a scrapbooker. i USED to rubber stamp like mad. i still have a ton of stamps and embossing powders and the like. perhaps i'll get back into it. AFTER the holidays of course. i'm still working on other things. anyway, i was quite taken with all of this



and from margot potter; the impatient crafter

i actually saw THIS video FIRST and i knew i'd fallen in love with grungeboard
