Well, it has been a very wet summers day here with heavy downpours just falling out of nowhere. But Mother Nature is a happy lady and all the greenery is looking perky. Maybe that influenced my colours and mood for Grungy Monday. See this week's arty dabblings from Mr. T here. I thought I'd see what would happen if I embossed my tag with paint rather than stamping and I am loving the result.
Texture, oozing paint... all fine with me. I've used several hefty doses of Stream and Lettuce, all laden with Perfect Pearls letting it run and seep where it wanted to. I didn't want to hide the detail so I stamped and cut out the frame image, adding a Mica scrap stamped with the birds.
Here you can see a bit more detail and that oh so lovely paint. I think you get my point about liking it!!! All the splodges and smudges are right at home on a Grungy tag...
Thanks for taking time to be here. Last weeks tag is off to it's new home with Shari in Michigan. Bon Voyage!
Be seeing you soon, Sarah.

Stunning tag!!!
This is gorgeous and has lifted up my grey day sat in work during lunch as it is p*****g oops - raining heavily!!
I love how you have looked out of the rain streaked window and used the colours you saw! So glad you don't live in a concrete bunker! Love the offset frame - seemed to sum up my mood this week!
BEAUTIFUL tag, Sarah!! :)
Gorgeous colors, Sarah, and what a neat idea to frame the birds!

Mmmmmmmmmmm, colour.... :P I love the bluey-greeniness of it. It's the colour of the sea in little coves. I want to go to the seaside right NOW!! XX
Love this card! Don't ever stop making and sharing with us! Beautiful....
Ooooh, I commented on this on the ATT group, but had to say again how much I love this! Really beautiful tag!
Lovely tag - the colours are gorgeous :-)
I think "Rainy days and Grungedays" may be my favorite blog post title EVER! Love it and I love this spectacular work of art you've created, Sarah! Those colors are just stunning, and the harlequin pattern is perfect for the GM14 technique. I love how you framed in the flock of birds, and the antiqued look of the sentiment is such a fabulous contrast to the cool, vibrant background.
Such rich colors and textures - love your tag!
Great tag, zingy, lively colours , great embossing and stamping , love how the frame is off the edge.
