Practicing on a Canvas

I used some of my Distress Crayon skills (from Creative Chemistry 103) to practice on a 6″ x 6″ canvas board.  I stamped Anneli by Prima with Jet Black Archival ink.  I colored with Distress Crayons and used a water brush to blend the colors.

I used some gel and pigment pens to add some details.  The finishing touch was an edging with Tarnished Bronze Distress Paint.

It was fun to create this canvas.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks for visiting.

Day 6, Creative Chemistry 103: Surfaces & Substrates

For our Day 6 lesson, Tim described various surfaces and substrates.  He challenged us to use techniques from the first five days on one of these surfaces.

I created two cards, one is a sympathy card, the other a thinking of you card.  Here they are with the technique & surfaces used:

 

Distress Highlight Stamping on substrate, mounted on Distress Painted burlap

 

Distress Luminous Mica on woodgrain cardstock, mounted on substrate

 

Thanks for sticking with me through all my Creative Chemistry 103 posts.  When I get my reference book put together, I’ll share it.

Day 5 of Creative Chemistry 103

Day 5 of CC103 is about Alcohol Ink & Yupo

I’ve had Yupo for a while but had only tried a couple of techniques with it.  Tim’s lessons gave me some new ideas.  Here’s what I came up with:

Alcohol Ink Stamped Resist on Yupo

 

Alcohol Ink Texture Resist on Yupo

 

Alcohol Ink Faded Layers on Yupo

 

Alcohol Ink Painting on Yupo

 

Alcohol Ink Liquid Landscape on Yupo

 

Alcohol Ink Splattered Florals on Yupo

Day 5 was fun but I need some more practice with the techniques!  Thanks for coming by for a visit, I love it when you leave a comment.  I have one more post using combined techniques for Day 6.

Learning with Creative Chemistry 103

I’ve spent the last few days learning and creating along with Tim Holtz in his online class, Creative Chemistry 103.  I’ll be sharing my samples from each day in the next few posts.

I created ATCs instead of tags like I had done in past classes.  I have a plan for using them in my reference book, I’ll share that later (if my idea pans out).

Here are my Day 1: Distress Accessories samples.

Distress Highlight Stamping

Distress Off-Set Stamping

Distress Washed Watercolor

Distress Micro-Glaze Resist

That’s it for my Day 1 creations.  Thanks for stopping by.
