A little bit of winter in August with grunge flakes :)

I recently purchased a set of Tim Holtz's Grunge Flakes by Stampers Anonymous...LOVE them!!!!!!!!!!!! I used them with Versamark ink to make the bacground paper...i like the watermark effect :) The frame was actually a solid Unity stamp....I cut the bird image out of the center with an exacto knife and voila! I was left with a gorgeous frame....yummy! My heart flutters when I can use a stamp in more than one way :) Wouldn't you agree?
