Grungy...

...Friday! So, I am a day earlier than last week for my entry the fabbylicious challenge that is Grungy Monday. Devised and hosted by the ever so lovely Linda Ledbetter... all the deets for the challenge are HERE on her blog. The theme this week is based on Tim's Ranger Video showing us how to Distress Ink Color Block.



This is a technique I have never tried before... oh when I first started using Distress Inks 834 years ago, the lined effect was something I achieved frequently until I learnt how to use a Blending Tool properly... mwhahahaaa... this technique is grand indeed and I rather like the way it turned out... here is my tag "before" I got all silly and overloaded it with stamping and... stuff...




I won't go into deets on how to get the technique... you can see all about it HERE on the Ranger website... but I will tell you that I challenged myself a weensy bit for this one. Well, you see, I have a very lot of the boootiful stamps from the very one and only Duke of Distress... and yet I always seem to use the same ones... so I challenge meself to use the really old ones that are sitting there, unloved and uninked... and so I used them! And, I have now challenged meself to use them more often... just because they are old, doesn't mean they should be ignored...



So... the other day on the WOYWW thingy I showed you my messy desk and made allusions to the state of my room... well, last night I got all huffy puffy and had a minor hissy fit... I couldn't actually see the surface of my desk, it had got that bad! Nearly all the Distress Inks were out of their storage, Distress Stains were dancing a fandango across the top half of the desk and as for the Glossy Accents... they were minus a lid!!! Akkk!!!! So... during said hissy fit, I kind of had a bit of an aberation and just chucked it all in the direction of Desk 2. So, guess what I am doing later... I mean it, I am waging war on myself and this sillyness has to stop... messyness is no longer welcome in the Room of Stash ... and I am even going to unpack that case... before I do anything else I am going to sort things out... I am... really, I am...
