creative chemistry 102 day 5

I was up late last night working away. It is our Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada and there is lots to prepare for.

Day 5 was all about embossing Effects :)
I managed to make 3 of the 6 techniques from this last day. I have to say that I had a ton of fun playing around with these tags

Here are the results of my late night playing :)

The first tag is rusting with distress powder, the second one which I LOVED is called the shabby chic technique, and the last tag is tarnished silver except mine is copper :)

If you have never taken an online class from Tim Holtz I would totally recommend his Creative Chemistry 101 and now 102 classes. You will have online access to them for life :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

I was able to sneak in a little time last night to create from class four.
It's all about alcohol inks! love these inks !

Here is my work

First one is the Ombre technique loved how it turned out. I will be doing this one again.
The second tag was faded layers. This was a really cool technique.
The last tag is the monoprint, again, I really enjoyed learning this technique.

There are 3 more techniques from this day that I was not able to do at this time. As soon as I am able I will post them here :)

creative chemistry 102 day 3

I am planning to work on my day 3 class later this evening. That is the plan :)

I was able to spend some time last night playing with the tags for day number 3!

Day 3 is all about Distress. There sure are quite a few differnent ways to achieve this

Here are 3 ways that I have learned

 the first 2 tags is a technique called smudge stamping, the next technique is called brayered stains what a neat effect for a background. The last one is distress  glitter rock candy I LOVE  working with this distress glitter.

There are 3 more techniques that were taught to us. I will post them at a later time.

Creative chemistry 102 day 2

I will post my work here from day 2 as soon as I able to work on it :)

Day 2 was all about stencils! love using my new stencils :)
Here is the results from my homework

The first tag is a mixed-media layering technique, the second tag was embossing with stencils and the last tag was embossing through stencils!

 I had a ton of fun playing with the stencils this way and there are still 3 more ways to use them.
I will post those last 3 techniques soon.

Creative Chemistry 102 !! day 1

Yes, I decided to take another class from Tim Holtz :)
Creative Chemistry 102

The class started on Monday and I am only able to start working on it now!
I am already way behind. But then it seems that I am pretty good at that lol

I know that I will get all the assignments done it just may not happen as quickly as I would like. I know that I will give it a good go.

Here is my work from the first day of lessons. I really did enjoy playing around :)

The first day was all about distress paints

The first photo show the first four techniques.
first tag was a marbling technique, then we did the coloured crackle (love that rock candy), altered surface and then the dress form is the eroded metallic technique which I love, the photo just doesn't capture the true look of it.

here is a closeup of the frame and flower. Just love the  antiqued look :)

and the last two
are the stamping resist and the industrial technique hard to capture metal in a photo

and that is it for the first day of lessons. 

Pant pant off to go work on the next class .... :)
