OCC Tim Holtz Chemistry 102: Day Two

Another fabulous day in the Online Card Classes Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 102 class. Today was all about stencils, a lesson I’d be eagerly anticipating.

I tried a number of the techniques shown including painting through the stencil, using the stencils to print, and embossing with the stencil. There are still techniques shown today I’ve yet to try.

I was definitely focused on Halloween for my first three tags!

For my final tag, I used a “reject” from yesterday’s lesson – one in which I was painting with metallic paint and lifting it. I ran it through my Big Shot with a stencil and then lightly sanded the stars off. I topped it with an Impression Obsession die cut.

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!
