Let’s get grungy! Each week when I open my goodie bag for the Sizzix Triple Play Blog hop I have no idea what idea will burst forward. This week’s project features the Sizzix ScoreBoards Pro Die – Frame & Frame Back with Stand #656835 by Eileen Hull which comes with lots of pieces to create with. I’m sure like the rest of my creative friends, this week is filled with cooking and celebration and creative time is limited, so I decided to grab the three largest die cuts from this die and make a quick and grungy project! I love my mother Aleene’s vintage technique of burnt brown bag and decided to try it on the die cut mat board. For those of you who are familiar with this technique, you know that you apply a medium coat of Aleene’s Original Tacky Glue (in the gold bottle) to the surface and then use a candle to burn the glue. You usually get a very black and sooty, textured and leather-like effect. But when I grabbed a wet wipe instead of a paper towel to remove the soot, it revealed the white matboard underneath so I wiped away in some areas more than others to create a mottled effect. I’m calling it my shabby chic grungy technique!
If you would like to learn the traditional technique of Aleene’s Burnt Brown Bag - check out this video clip and then 
remember to get my effect, just use a wet wipe instead of a paper towel. Super cool!
The lavender focal flower is created from Heidi’s Plaster Trinkets Vintage Collection and I glued a silver IMAGINE charm at the bottom of the frame.
Wishing you a Thanksgiving Day filled with love, gratitude, inspiration and imagination!
