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.

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.

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
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
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

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
