Grungy Monday No 9

This week the challenge is to use T!m's 2007 Day 10 Christmas tag technique for that shabby chic look.
It's a big bonus to be on holiday today so I can join in again :)


Mine has turned out much darker than I'd like mainly because I only have 4 colours of dabber....ideally I would have liked to add a touch of pinkness to the background but I had to make do with sitting the word fragments on a bit of pink card instead!!! LOL
To try to give it a bit of a lift I added some gold dabber in places and added the T!m word photograph in white dabber.
To see how it's done by the real pro follow the link above to T!m's blog.
Thanks for the inspiration T!m........you are a diamond ;)
Thanks for looking and happy stamping!
xoxo Sioux

P.S. I always apologise when using this stamp as I know clowns freak so many of you!
What can I say........I love this stamp! HOL

    Great tag - and I love the clowns! I had trouble too, because my dabbers are so dried out!

    Oh my! This is terrific! Clowns don't freak me out, but they are sometimes strange. I think this stamp is perfect for the tag and the technique.
