SSSS/CCC

The challenge this week on CCC is Alcohol Ink Agate on Grunge and the challenge on SSSS is Show your Grunge, so I'm submitting the same project for both.
I made a frame for a little mirror, you really can't see that it is a mirror but the middle really is a mirror!! I waited until this morning to take the picture for better lighting, ya right FOG!!! So I had to play with the lighting a little bit so you really can't see the mirror part. I cut the frame out of GB and I did the Alcohol Ink on Grunge technique on it, that was a really a cool technique!! I will have to use that one again!! You have to get Tim's book to see how it is done! The rose is out of GP, I used Rusty Hinge distress ink first then I tryed Tim's technique of inking the inside of his embossing folder then running it through the embosser, I used mustard seed distress ink for that. Wow I liked that, it gave it a cool effect to it!! Lovin these challenges, it's fun to try things I have never tryed before!!

I'm headed to my daughters this morning to watch the boys while they go to a wedding, looking forward to spending the time with the boys!!
Thanks again everyone for all the nice comments!!
Have a good weekend!!

  8. Well, this is magnificent, Donna!!! That frame is museum-worthy-- what a gorgeous use of the alcohol ink agate technique! It looks like a precious antique piece. The rose is beautiful, too. I haven't tried the inked embossing folder idea yet, but if it looks this good, I definitely need to give it a shot. The little polka dotted butterfly is such a sweet touch.

    I hope you had a great time with your grandkids!
