Grungy Monday 6 : Wood Effect Technique
Grungy Monday on Sunday ...... and this is not what I intended to do at all with my tag!
The Grungy Monday (ie celebrating all things Tim Holtz) challenge this week over on Studio L3 is an acrylic paint technique which results in a great wood effect. That is the theory anyway. Click the link here to see the technique and Sir T's great result.
Am I the only person who cannot get paint to flow out of a paint dabber? I have never had any great success, so my acylic paint was plastered on with a credit card so it was a bit thick in places. Which didn't seem to matter as I got quite caried away doing a collage and covered most of it up! You can just about see the best bits down the left hand side!
Do click the link to Linda's blog and see her fantastically coloured piece and also Gabrielle's calming butterfly frame along with all the other entries. And who knows ..... next week I might get to do this on Monday - hmmmmm just realised that is tomorrow!
Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

The Dabbers can be a little moody, and Ranger changed both the formula and the actual bottles not that long ago. I had a really hard time with the older bottles, and could never get the paint to flow. The new ones are SO much better, and really work the way they're meant to. (If the bottles feel hard and difficult to squeeze, you have the old formulas). Give their Customer Service line a call-- I'm sure they'll help you get the product replaced.
