Today is the first day of the Online Card Classes Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 102 class. I couldn’t believe how absorbed I became in the material as I worked. Looking at the kitchen table now, I can see that I was also making a mess!
For my tag, I combined two techniques discussed today. I stamped the paisley background with distress paint and used distress inks to “reveal” the image. I painted the grungeboard stars with Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint and then with distress paints. I think I needed more crackle paint for more crackles! The sentiment was stamped last with Archival Ink.
Time to clean up!
Gorgeous tag, Jean! I love how you blended your colors and the texture on the stars is fabulous!
Looks like you’re going to have a fun time in class…messy, but fun 🙂
Beautiful colors, love the sentiment too!
Love the colors you used. Beautiful tag Jean!
Wonderful tag — love the colors! Don’t you just love how that black Archival ink stands out? Good stuff! Have fun in class. I’m sitting out on this one.
Love your tag and how you combined techniques. Your detail stamping came through so nice and sharp.
Oh Jean — This came out wonderful! I’m already blown away at just how much Tim shared with us today! This will be another of my favorite classes, simply based on Day One and the amazing amount of Content! So far, I’ve only tried the first and second technique and it’s been really a blast…my hands are very inks, but that wonderful little Scrubbie that Ranger makes, is a perfect thing to have for this class!
Your tag, like all your work — is fabulous! You’re such a Natural and make some of my all time favorite cards and creations!! See you again tomorrow!!
This is wonderful Jean! I’m sure we will have big messes all week to clean up, but it is worth it!
Lovely!
This is just lovely!
Great tag. Looks beautiful!
Beautiful tag! Love it! The color combination and the design is beautiful!
Fabulous Jean! worth all the mess! I’m sure you’ll be ready to get inky tomorrow!
: )
**gorgeous**
Great idea to incorporate the techniques into one project! … I have several started and now I feel like I am behind…lol Enjoy the class. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your creations.
What an incredible card! You are a very creative and gifted artist. I’m going to see how I can use those techniques with my stamps and inks and paint. Maybe I’ll get one in the gallery before the class is over. Thanks for sharing.
This tag is beautiful. The colored crackle stars look awesome as well as your background with the paint resist technique! Well done.
