Well, hmmm, What constitutes grungy anyway?! Or, do you think this card turned out looking a little - - scary!?! : ) ( I don't even celebrate Halloween, but it kind of fits in that category!) I don't know, I had such a fun time making it! But it is on the grungier side for me~ And just reminded me of a 'spooky' card!
I'll chalk it up to experience : )
How is your week-end turning out? I was able to get outside and get some yard work done; so that felt great! But ask my muscles today! I'm a bit sore~
We are being blessed with warm weather today and Sunday. Blue skies and 60 degrees!
Then, next week, we will see some snow~ YEAH! LOL I'm tryin' : )
Hope you are enjoying your part of the world today? I know I'm enjoying mine~
Hugs and thanks to all who visit here! Karen
I used ( > ) Jenni Bowlin papers, some bits of corrugated board and machine stitching around the edges.
On the left side is some vintage (off white) lace and pleated black seam binding~
There is a cut-out little bird at the top, and some silver teeny seed bead stuff.
Lots of distressing ink from ( > ) Mr. Tim Holtz : ) too.
Here is a bit 'brighter' shot!
That's it for today! I thought I would sneak over to Wen's Apple Apricot's Simply Neutrals Tuesday Linky Party!
Lets see if there are a few new additions to check out!
Wishing you the very best of Gods blessings today! ~Karen
Lovely piece, Karen. Everything you create is wonderful, grungy or not! You have to love anything that comes from Tim! Glad you're having a good weekend! XO Sue

I really like your card, Karen.. The little, stitched banners add a nice detail, too! Isn't layering so much fun? And just creating in general :) I'm glad you're having some nice weather. It has warmed up for us here, too. We had snow last week! Thank you for sharing and have a blessed weekend<3
