Happy Monday, and welcome to Grungy Challenge number 21! This week we're going to explore some really cool ways to use Idea-ology Fragments, with some hot-off-the-press techniques from Tim's Blog! Who knew you could use clear embossing powder to create an etched glass look, and that an easy trick with packing tape could turn a Fragment into a cool, dimensional vehicle for image transfers? Well, Tim knew, but I sure didn't! Check this out:
I'm always thrilled when Mr. H posts a new technique on his blog, but I've gotta say, this is one of my favorites ever. Four clever new ways to rock the Fragments! For the purposes of this challenge, you need only try ONE of the four techniques, but really, they're so much fun, I bet you'll want to try 'em all.
I had a blast with this, and put together a little homage to my favorite beverage using images and text from an old magazine and an empty bag of Starbucks Sumatra. The background is Sticky-Back Canvas:
Oh, did I mention that someone's going to win a prize? A REALLY COOL prize, with lots of Tim Holtz goodies? It's true, and all you have to do to be eligible is enter Challenge 21. I'll announce the winner and ship the prize package before I leave for the cruise.
Sanded and Embossed, backed with Kraft Resist:
Alcohol Inked:
(Starbucks Sumatra Tiger! ROAR!)
Packing Tape Transfer:
Okay, go get 'em, artful friends! I can't wait to see what you create with Fragments!
Hugs,
Linda

Linda this really is cool! I am looking forward to playing and so glad for extended deadline. It's a busy time of year at work and I never got to play with GM last week - I'm in withdrawal!
I love each piece you did and am grateful when Tim puts new techniques up. And I'm a fan of SBux too! Thank you for doing such a great job with keeping us all challenged!

Loving this piece Linda. Way to go girl. Can't wait to try it and glad I have the fragments!!
Have I ever told you how much I love these challenges? Well I do and always love your beautiful inspiration! Sounds like great fun to play again with fragments, but not as much fun as that cruise! Yes, maybe next year, I will go! Have a great GM!
Ooooh a whole month to play - what are the chances of me being early. Have a fantabulous time on the cruise...what a time that will be. Wishing you refreshment, fun, inspiration and lots of whatever you want time!
Linda your art is stupendous as always ... love the coffee them (of course) and especially your eye for matching patterns and shapes.
I'm also clapping wildly at this challenge: I have a little self reminder sticky here on my desk (no kidding) ... "Try Tim's new fragment techniques" ... YAY!
Wow, wow and wow, your fragments are amazing.I hope to play along and hope I can come somewhere close to your wonderful stuff!!!Hope I can do Tims techniques proud, love the faux etching! Trace x
I love, love, love your "Coffee Homage" art piece and not only just because it's about coffee! It is really cool! The kraft resist is my favorite part, she is beautiful!
