I wanted to share what I was playing with over the weekend - Grunge Paper.
When I seen the grunge paper Rose on Tim Holtz’s site about a month ago and I was green with envy - How did he do that? He taught it at a class and a very nice lady named Liz Walters attended and she spent a TON of time creating great direction on how to make this Grungy beauty - and she SHARED - THANK YOU LIZ - you are the BEST!
Grunge Roses:
The base of each of the flowers was colored with Distressed Inks. On most of them I stamped a background image using Archival ink (it’s waterproof). After the roses were cut and formed I sprayed them with mists.
Well what’s a girl to do with Grunge Roses - I need a 25th Wedding Anniversary card for my brother and best friend so…
Grunge Rose Anniversary:
Side view so that you can see the dimension:
The background is wrinkle free distress, the blue background flowers are Distressed Pearls. Don’t you just love Tim’s idea-ology hardware!!!
In case you are wondering I timed my last Rose (the 6th one) and it took me 40 minutes start to finish. The hardest one to make was the little one - it’s bugger getting those little pieces to go the way you want them to.
I hope you like the Grunge Roses!

OMGoodness, KAT!! These are so wonderful...I too wondered how he did it...you have made some beauties!!
Very nice! I've been hoarding a package of ornate plates, liked the way you used yours. I am SUCH a fan of Wendy Vecchi. Her stuff is awesome & she is a hoot.
Wow, these are amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!
Hello Kat,
your roses turned out very, very nice ! I also like a lot what you did with one of them. The reciever of the card will be very happy with it : it's a beautiful piece.
Liz tried to mail me the instructions, but it was sended back to her because of "too big"...:(
Could you explain it a bit on your blog ? I'm making a tutorial on making Poppies with grungepaper and will let ATT know when it is posted, so you try this flowers too.

What fabulous work Kat! I can appreciate how difficult the 'little' one must have been but so worth the perserverance. Well done, you must be delighted with the results. Thank you for sharing. I am sure the lucky recipient of this card will be one delighted person.

I love how your roses and projects worked out. I see that Liz's instructions have been banned by google for virus issues. Could you please forward the pdf document I would love to try my hand at them.
I have seen that Grunge stuff in the store and magazines but had no idea how to work with it--thank you so much for the mini class.GREAT card.
