Grungy Monday 07

I loved this week’s challenge at L3.  The Tim Holtz technique was  simple, fool proof and turned out looking better than I imagined it could.  I made a lot of embellishments for this tag but used only a fraction of them.  I didn’t want to cover up all of the luscious TH DI.  The colors reminded me of Tuscany, so I used it to mount one of my favorite pictures from our trip.

  2. Wow! Fantastic Holtz-inspired background (love the flourish hiding back there), wonderful embellishments and a GORGEOUS family!

    ... though it's making me a wee bit jealous. :)
