Get Down and Dirty


Hello I am Princess Judy and I'll be hosting this week's A Muse Studio Challenge.  I confess that I am a clean stamper.  I don't like inky fingers, I don't like my desk blotter to be filled with stamp offs, dribbled ink. leaky markers or blobs of glue.  However, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy getting down and dirty from time to time.

For this challenge I ask that you use a technique that you find grungy and messy.  You could try sponging, direct to paper, sprays, distressed edges, tea dying, etc--whatever makes your paper crafting heart happy and your fingers and/or desk blotter messy.  I'm no Tim Holtz but here is what I've come up with to give you some inspiration.



I distressed almost all the edges, used Splash spray, crumpled and sanded paper, and dyed baker's cording on these cards.  That bottom card features some new A Muse products in the catalog that goes live this coming March 1st.  This is a new set, new dies, new patterned paper, and a new color.

Here are some grungy, messy, fussy, crumpled, wrinkles, sprayed, teased, dyed, etc. samples from my colleagues to help you come up with something to join in our challenge.
