I look forward to Linda Ledbetter's Grungy Monday challenges every week. This week's challenge was a new one for me - making wearable art. If you have a chance, check out all the entries on Linda's site. People have been incredibly creative this week!
All of Linda's challenge focus on tips and techniques from the super talented Tim Holtz. I have a brother named Tim so it may amuse you that most of my family assumes I'm referring to TH when I mention 'Tim!'
I've made a necklace with lots of Ideology, one of Tim's stamps, an oval diecut from his Sizzix tag die, and Glossy Accents by Ranger. The stamp is from Tim's Nature's Discovery set. I've used only the first four words of a longer message, but I thought they were pretty cool as is, in using just what fit the frame.
I really like that the stamp had some cross/hatch marks to grunge it up a bit. I used Mustard Seed Distress Ink on it before adding the Glossy Accents.
Thanks so much for the visit. Have a great day!

I'd wear this - a beautiful creation.
It has been a wee while since I last used one of his frames to make wearable art - you have motivated me to dig them out.
