Buzz of the Week: Grunge Paper

This is what Grunge paper looks like. Now I know it looks like something meant for building construction. But do you want to see what you can do with it? Take a look below.

This was a collage that I made in a class with Tim Holtz. This class was appropriately called the "Patchwork Pandemonium". It is entirely made out of grunge paper. We did all kinds of things to it, distressed it, stamped it, some of it was dry embossed and then painted with acrylics and then distressed. And this is just one of the things that can be done with grunge paper. You can make flowers like roses, grunge paper will hold shape!

And grunge board, which is thicker than grunge paper, is much easier to work with than chipboard. There are loads of ways to use grunge paper. Take a look at the patchwork collage closeups below.
