Grungy Monday - Week Two - A Little Madness!!

Hello Peeps. 

What a FAB Grungy Monday project Linda at 3Ls has lined up for us this week.  One I have thoroughly enjoyed working on!

First we went on a mystery tour HERE.  Then we got to "play" at using the technique that Tim Holtz had demonstrated on his lickle video!

Woo Hoo!!! 

For some reason I kept singing the old Madness song "Our House - In the Middle of Our Street" and thought about using my lickle street On the Edge die to make the stamp with funky foam!  When I first bought this die it reminded me of the first lickle terraced house which my DH and I bought just before we married - hence 47!

The background paper is part of a very old solicitors diary which I found in our Archives propping a door open, and it actually has the name of the then solicitors who were at the firm I work at, including the father of my Boss!!  You have to look real hard to spot it tho' but I know so nyer nyer nyer nyer nyer!!!

I made my tag using my tag die from Tim Holtz and covered it with the diary paper (using the matte medium to adhere them together of course).  I made my stamp using the On the Edge die and foam and a lickle grungeyboard house too!). I used lots of different distress inks and finished it off with the Rock Candy distress stickles to give the sky a little schparkle! 

The 47 was made by making two more stamps using Sizzix dies and more funky foam which I then used to stamp some shrink plastic (really lurving this stuff!) which I then heated and hey presto! it shrunk would you believe!!!  I then used some lush enamel from Ranger to back the 47 to make it look white.  Had to use some tissue tape - Tim's fault since I was at the Paperartsy event.

Some cellophane off a Quality Street chocolate to back the windows, gold deco balls and glossy accents to fill the windows, ribbon, fluffy fibres, keys and beads and hey presto one little tag which I loved making.

Thanks for looking.  Let me know you have been visiting by leaving a message please.

TTFN and Happy Crafting.
