Pumice Stone, Bundled Sage, Wild Honey, Weathered Wood, and Tumbled Glass were my choices for the colors, with Vintage Photo for the background stamping.

Monday, Grungy Monday
I'm at a point where I spend more time on photography than on my crafting, but I haven't given up on the latter. Linda's Grungy Monday challenge this week is simply Distress Inks. I would LOVE to do some fabulous project, but it's not going to happen. When I make something now, it's generally for a practical purpose. In this case, I needed to make three thank-you cards for high school classmates who organized our recent class-reunion-for-the-ancients. The cards are a CASE of a Hero Arts guest designer's Christmas card last winter and featured on the Hero Arts blog. Distress Inks, of course, are one of those great developments of Tim Holtz.

Actually, you DID do a fabulous project, Evelyn! These cards, with the perfectly-chosen color schemes and perfect masking, are wonderful! You made true Distress Ink magic!
Beautiful Thank you cards, no doubt your class mates will be impressed. I hope the reunion was fun!
hugs Lynn
I agree with Linda. What a wonderful project and they are all so lovely!
Oh gosh Evelyn, you maybe spending more time on your photography but it does not seem to be affecting your card making skills. These cards are beautiful. Today I completed a card with the same technique, but I do not think my embossing is as good as yours. I will be posting it up in the next few days so you can critique it then.

These are absolutely gorgeous.... I bet the recipients are thrilled. Love that masking over the text.
beautiful cards,
Evelyn your cards are abulous! I love the colors, the softness and the pairing of a nice white swirl with a script background!
Evelyn...I am so impressed with your cards and artwork. They are beautiful. I also am tickled to see you taught high school English forever as I did 6th grade English. I retired in ’98, but a few year later was back at my school keeping the in-school suspension room....no grades...no faculty meetings...it is a great job. Genie
These are fabulous Evelyn...just stunning!
Your masking, stamping and colors all work so well together, great results.
