The official start time of this Hop is Friday, at 8:00 AM(EST). If you arrived early, please be patient as all the links may not be live yet.
Todays BLOG HOP has a MAY MAYHEM... Create something grungey & distressed. The more mayhem, the merrier. Well, this challenge was difficult to me, so I went to two very talented people's blogs for some inspiration - Gerrie Johnnic and Shelly Hickox. Both of these talented designers are on the Technique Junkie Design Team with me and I knew they would not disappoint me with INSPIRATION!
I combined this Blog Hop with the BLOGGERS CHALLENGE... I missed last week - but in order to catch up, I made TWO cards this week!
The first card uses the Bloggers Challenge from last week that was a COLOR CHALLENGE! We were to use the colors Teal, Red and Curry... those colors do not lend to the grunge affect very well, but I took the challenge!
Here are the details:
Cardstock: Polka dot DP by SU, Vanilla, Teal, Red
Accessories: Brads, Distresser, Stickles, Ribbon, Lace inked with Curry ink, Copics, Nestibilities
This week's challenge is this SKETCH. I turned it to the side and moved the circles up a bit...
Here are the details for my card:
Cardstock: Coordinations, Vanilla, Chocolate, Sage, DP (sorry do not recall the name!)
Accessories: Copics, Rough Texture Wheel, Dimensionals, Paper Snips, Distresser, Bling Gems

Good googily moogily...I actually did distressing on my card too...lol!!! These are truly fantastic Chrissy! :D
I'm part of a blog tour also. Check mine out!
Your cards are GREAT! I think the red, curry, teal grunged just fine! The dragon card is cute and reminds me of how I feel this week!
Great Card! I love all the colors and the distressing is fantastic!
Hugs,

Your cards are awesome, Chrissy!! Love the colors and beautiful details. Both are too pretty to be called grungy :)
I love the cards, so different and yet both GRUNGY!!
You may not think your curry, teal and red card lends to grunge, but I think it is adorable! Love the entire card and think it is just flat gorgeous. And the dragon sentiment and then your image are perfect -- I'm always amazed at your work!
Love the color and glitter on the flower card...and the dragon is just too cool!
Distress those edges Baby!! LOVE IT! and I love the collage stamping background!
Great cards Chris, love the dragon!
Two great cards. Cool take on the dragon card.
Love your color challenge card...very vintage. And adore you dragon card! Great job!
I think you did a wonderful job on this one :) Funny we both did 2 cards since we weren't quite sure we were getting the right effect! I do like the dragon card too!
Your "dragon" card made me smile out loud!
Two really great cards GF! The dragon just made me crack up!
Excellent job meeting all of the challenges, the blog hop and creating wonderful artwork!
Both cards are full of fun.......thanks for being part of a fun hop.

Wonderful job with both card. The color challenge looked great and had just the right amount of "grunge" but I really, really liked that Dragon card!
Wonderful cards- I would never use these colors together without a challenge- they really look great, don't they? I love all of the embellishments on the card- love the curry lace! Great dragon card too-great distressing!
I love the way you used ink to create the background.
I LOVE your "Dragon" card! What a great idea!!! Thank you for sharing!

Both of these are fabulous...I love the dragon saying....that's adorable....
These cards are wonderful! I love the flower you used on the top one and that dragon is awesome!
Great grunge-y and distressed designs!
Wow, 2 fab pieces here! I love the very straight inked lines on that first piece. How did you do that?
Grunge and Distress is my favorite...it is hard to switch to a different style and you did so perfecly with your cards.
Beautiful cards! I love the backgrounds.
Chrissy, I'm glad part of the Hop is not to have to choose which one I like the best. They are both really cool. Absolutely love the cute little dragon, though. Blessings...
Gorgeous card!
Very nice, great job catching up.
These are both terrific cards Chris. LOVE them both. Very different yet both are wonderful. Ok, now I've said Terrific, Love them & Wonderful--yup that about says it all except THEY ARE SUPER!!!!!
Nola
Great job on BOTH cards, Chrissy! You "grunged" well and the dragon card is a hoot!
Oh this is gorgeous! So cool!
Oh this is gorgeous! So cool!
Chris, those both turned out awesome!! I love that little touch of goldenrod on the red & teal one! The glitter works perfectly with the grunge, too - adds a neat twist! And oh, my! That dragon card is fantastic!!
Both are great!!! That dragon is too funny!!
