Grungy Monday - Batik Tim Style

Surprise! I actually made two cards for this week's Grungy Monday challenge at Studio L3. We were to use Tim Holtz' technique for what I call faux batik. It is one of my favorite techniques that Tim demos. I used a "pear" theme for both cards and three or four Distressed Inks in various colors.
