Grungeboard Earrings


Grungeboard is defined by Tim Holtz as a compressed, flexible sheet of dingy material with a debossed texture that can be painted, inked, sanded, hammered, die-cut or grunged. You can even wash ink off with water and start again!

I first tried this technique after reading about it in Margot Potter's book "Beyond the Bead" several years ago. She had a gorgeous example of using it with stamps and I knew I had to try it! All you need are stamps, alcohol ink, and a sealer. I also used my Sizzix to cut out some other shapes like these hearts.
  
The possibilities are endless and it really is a fun project.

You can find the Fleur de Lise earrings HERE and check out some of my other designs using grungeboard.


Thanks for looking,
