Before I go, here is some quick grungey inspiration by Amy Prior.

Mel's 30th - Blue Tongue Brewery

This fabulous textured layout has so many layers but was super fun to create using lots of Gel Medium, Glimmer Mists & Embossing Powders. 

The A2Z Scraplets pieces are a little hidden from view at first but there is 1 piece of Ngaire's Barbed Wire that I have cut up into smaller lengths plus there is the larger post from the Street Signs pack of 2.

The style of this layout was very much inspired by the fabulous and famous Finnabair. 

Another closeup where you can almost see the barbed wire poking out from one of the clusters. I have taken dozens of closeups for this layout and still I do not believe you will ever see all of the fun details without having this one in front of you.  

Stay tuned for a video tutorial coming soon for this layout. As soon as I figure out how to edit and get good lighting for home videos LOL

Goodluck to everyone entering the challenge this month.

Until next time...happy scrapping!
