Create along with me as I make two grungy mixed media tags for the #GrungyTagChallenge2026! The July prompt is "Rusted or Painted," and I chose rusted, layering genuine rust-printed papers, well-loved tea bags, vintage book pages, and distressed collage elements to create richly textured, shabby tags.

Here is the prompt list for 2026:

Jan - Corrugated
Feb- Folded
Mar - Three of something
Apr - Circles
May - Weave or woven
Jun - Stamped
Jul - Rusted or painted
Aug - Stenciled
Sep - Die cut or punch
Oct - Tape
Nov - Photograph or line drawing
Dec - Paper towel or baby wipe
