Day 5 tags all together

Marbled stains technique

My marbling didn't turn out as nice as I would have liked and the tree stamp ended up looking splotchy. This does however make the tag look very aged which is interesting. Feedback?

Stamping with stains technique

This was a very interesting technique. I loved my tag up until the point of stamping black images on the tag. I made a poor choice of black images. The are difficult to see but I really like the background.

Stained Kraft resist techniques

This paper is much fun! Love the look. I am in love with distress!

Watercoloring with re-inkers technique

Three tags I made from first lesson of day 4 from Tim Holtz's creative chemistry 101 class.

Layered misting technique

Tried this technique. Not my favorite. I can see using it occasionally. My hands are very stained because I had to modify technique by using distress stain and some tattered angel spray. Too much prep and clean up for me.

Day 3 recap

I am in love withy new Tim techniques

Alcohol ink agates

Here is my demo. Whatcha think?

Archival resist 4

My favorite! I love Asian influences and I think even Tim might approve of this one!

Archival resist attempt two

I like the background better on this one however I don't like the foreground. Needed a bolder primary statement.

Archival resist tag

This is my first attempt and it's growing on me. I like the technique. I just struggled a bit with the slicker than usual surface with stamping on glossy surface.

Stamping with reflections techniques

So here is the third technique Tim Holtz taught tonight. The only one I could do tonight because I can finds glossy card stock !?!? This involved stamping on embossing folders and getting reverse images and then framing another stamp within the embossing folder! I cut a slit in the top of the folder for the tag. I am very happy with the end result. I'd love some feedback. Thanks

Day 2 tags Tim Holtz creative chemistry 101



Ta daaaa

Wrinkle free distress tag

This is tag #4? Very interesting cause I really didn't think it would turn out this interesting with my limited palette. However I think it turned out ok. I will try this again when I get some yellows oranges blues and purple

Another brushless watercolor

This one appears to have wicked a bit more but I did spray water onto stamped image after I stamped it. It is pretty and I did do edges in fired brick

Brushless watercolor

Tag #3 is posted. The was the third attempt at this technique. It would seem simple but several factors played in with water on stamp and poor stamping quality with a larger stamp. Anyhow the end result of attempt 3 is pretty and something I will try again

Distress and flick attempt 2

So here is my second tag I am finding that I am interested on lots of experimenting. Fun

Tag #1. Distress and flick

Ok I am limited with the number of distress colors I have. I obviously need to run to store tomorrow go a yellow and a blue. But this was a very interesting assignment

Day 2 project #1

Here is my before pic

Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101

Ok so I found out on Sunday 3/18/2012 that Tim Holtz was offering a Creative Chemistry Class which runs 2 weeks starting 3/19/2012. I immediately signed up and was inspired.

I am going to be posting my class assignments for your giggles and inspiration. I am sure that Tim will not let me down!

Tag I made

I had such creative fun last might playing with my movers and shapers dies and with my alcohol inks. I think the tags are adorable but would live to hear some creative criticism
