GRUNGY MONDAY #35 - A HOLTZIAN ATC

I'm a bit late this week but I've made it just in time. Having said that, I don't always join in with Grungy Monday which is the brain child of Linda Ledbetter, but I try if I can. This weeks challenge is to make a 'Holtzian ATC' using at least one of Tim's products or techniques.
Here is my card:

I used a grungeboard butterfly,
vintage photo and aged mahogony distress inks
blending tools and foam pads,
paper from some of Tim's Idea-ology range
glossy accents.

WOYWW ISN'T 'PEG LEG' CLEVER

Despite waiting to go in hospital - which incidently, didn't happen 'cos they cancelled at the last minute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 'peg leg' made me this:

24 blending tools plus holder.

He had already made me an 8 tool holder that sits on my work desk which he is going to alter into a 16 one. This means that I have 36 - one for each distress ink. I don't have to change the pads now because each tool has it's own.

Not only will it stand on my work desk, but it hangs from the ceiling when not being used. How clever is that

I worked out the cost of making 36 blending tools and 2 holders, including the foam pads but excluding the wood, which he already had, and it came to about £41.

The cost of 36 Ranger blending tools and 5 holders is about £280!!!!!

I think I did well there. We spent ages putting labels on the tools and

we even labelled all my distress inks too

Some of you have been asking me how I access my washer and drier after I showed you this photo last week

Well it's quite easy really, I simply move everything.

It's not a nice place to be in the cold of the winter as I have to have the window open for the elephant nose from the drier, so no crafting gets done then.
Now, for peeps at other craft rooms, pop over to Julia's, click on a name from the list and have a good 'ol nosey around. I actually managed 80 last week!  Take care.
