Today’s Online Card Classes Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 102 class was all about alcohol inks. I don’t have any of the supplies he used, so I decided to work on more tags from things we covered during Days 1-3.
On the first day, he applied Black Soot Distress paint to foil that had been dry-embossed. I loved the look but only got the paint into my hands yesterday.
For my first tag, I embossed the foil sheet with a Sizzix embossing folder I bought through Stampin’ Up. I added Memory Box ghosts, cut from Craft-a-Board, as suggested by Ellen Hutson. The grunge board is too thick for the thin dies, but the Craft-a-Board cut just fine! I added Rock Candy Dry Glitter with Glossy Accents as the adhesive to the ghosts without coloring them in any way (the glitter isn’t easily visible in the photo). The Memory Box sentiment was heat embossed on a die cut label. I then stamped it with the new Hero Arts chalkboard background stamp to make it more grungey.
For my second tag with this technique, I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder. As you can see, this technique gives a masculine, industrial look. I’m still pondering what to add to the tag.
Headed back to the craft table to play some more with the stencils!
