Creative Chemistry 101: Day 5-7

Pin It

Did I mention how much I'm loving Tim Holtz's Creative Chemistry 101 at Online Card Classes? (You're like, "Um, yeah, Linda, you've mentioned it like a gazillion times... on your blog, on Twitter, on Facebook, on Pinterest.... ") If you're taking the class, though, you certainly know why I continue to wax rhapsodic about it. And if you're not taking it, guess what? You can still sign up and get all the awesome videos and instructions... with lifetime access! Click here for the lowdown. 

Days 5, 6 and 7 continued our exploration of Tim's products and techniques, got inky and had a blast!

Day 5: Spray Inks and Stains
We learned tons about the properties of various liquid colorants, and played with those cool Ranger Ink Distress Stains.
Stained Kraft Resist
Stamping with Stains
Marbled Stains

Day 6: Distress Markers 
Distress Markers are awesome, you guys. While I only have a few colors so far, I'm already in a serious state of addiction, and once my backordered set shows up, LOOK OUT!

 Day 7: Embossing Basics
No matter how many times, and how many ways I use it, embossing powder always seems a little bit magical to me. Fun stuff! Magical, fun stuff. 
Nostalgic Batik
Rusted Enamel
Distress Powder Resist
