We're doing a study of Tim
Holtz's book "
A Compendium of Curiosities" on
NGS group This week we're looking at the section "Double Distress". First emboss a texture design onto grunge paper or board. Ink over the entire surface with Distress Ink using a blending tool. Work the ink into the recessed areas as well as the raised areas.
Run an ink pad of a contrasting color of Distress ink over the raised areas.
Run a dark color of Distress Ink on to a craft sheet. Swipe the inked textured grunge across the craft sheet picking up this ink to highlight the highest ares to add depth to the piece.

After doing all that, I realized I'd worked on the "back" of the
grungepaper, so I did the same inking on the "front" side:
