Grateful Grunge

Grunge can be nothing but gorgeous when pretty Fall hues are teamed up with SU's © versatile stamp set Gorgeous Grunge. We are warming up the season with pretty choices from Sweater Weather accenting a "Rock n' Roll" falling leaf!  

Gorgeous Fall Grunge Card

We started with a little rockin' and rollin' using the Rock n' Roll technique and some two step stamping with Gently Falling.  Check out A Rock n' Roll Tutorial on You Tube with thanks to Carol Walsh at www.carolspolkadotparty.com.  Our Very Vanilla Card Stock Scrap comes to life with the return of Crushed Curry Ink and a little rolling around with Pumpkin Pie Ink.  That is just the tip of the iceberg on this really comfy card!  We used the Gorgeous Grunge set to make an interesting background in Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip (stamped off), and Crushed Curry inks. Three little strips of Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper torn and sponged on the edges, adhered over a Grungy striped stamp in Pumpkin Pie, and topped off with a sentiment from the retired Falling Leaves sets the stage for our leaf.  Pop on a button with Linen Thread and pop up the leaf with Dimensionals and you have the makings of a masterpiece.  We finished this beauty by sponging the edges of the card front with Chocolate Chip Ink and roughing up the edges with the Distressing Tool.  Put it all on top of some Chocolate Chip CS.  Yummy!  All papers, inks, and accessories used in this card are from Stampin’ Up! ©
