Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101

I am a little slow since March when Tim had this fantastic on line class.  Life just gets in the way of what you want to do.....but finally I got a block of time to work on this.  Ten days of classes, 8 of the days consisted of 3 tags 3 techniques and day 10 was only one tag but it was a great one.  A total of 25 tags using a tremendous amount of product.  Distress ink pads, distress stains, distress reinkers, distress markers, distress stickles, distress embossing powder, crackle paint, perfect pearls mist with reinkers, Stampers Anonymous TH stamps, Texture Fades, tags, sticky back canvas, watercolor paper, grungeboard, and Kraft resist...just to name a few. What a Blast! I did one day at a time, gathered my supplies, worked the process and then PUT EVERYTHING AWAY before starting on the next day.  So when I was finishd I took some pictures.  To do them justice I should of taken one picture for each tag but then what a post THAT would of been!

  1. WOW! Lotsa work here. I like them all, but I'm with you...I don't care as much for the 'darker ones'. The brights are beautiful though. Think my fav is the 1st one in your lineup. TFS

  2. I had better success with the Rusted Enamel technique when I used a lighter ink for my base. I think I used milled lavender and Vintage Photo. Then a second try with Broken China and Walnut Stain. It really does look good when you get it to work.
