I love Fridays. Don't you love Fridays? I really do, and I love them even more now that I get to post a new CC2C challenge from Tim Holtz's latest book each week. Everyone did an AMAZING job on the Faux Patina challenge, and as an added bonus, you guys helped support someone as she took the huge step of sharing her art with the world. Angie Lentz, who so kindly offered her autographed Tim Holtz Idea-ology messenger bag as a prize for last week's challenge, has started her own blog! Check it out here: Art Frees the Soul!
Angie, thanks for the incredibly kind words, and I'm so happy you decided to dive in and blog your beautiful art. Thanks, too, for such a fabulous prize. I've announced the winner at the end of this post, so keep reading, everyone!
As for this week's challenge, it's time to bust out those awesome Distress Stains and make a little marbled magic. Please open your Compendium 2 to page 46, and dive right in!
This week's challenge is sponsored by eclectic Paperie, who's generously offering a $25 gift certificate to one lucky participant in the CC2C #3! Lots of new products have just hit the shelves there, and someone is going to have a BLAST shopping!

Yay! It's Friday and it CC2C day! And I have everything I need on page 46 waiting at home for me so no stopping on the way home from work for an extra ingredient. :)
It's also so awesome that Angie created a blog!! How amazing it must feel to be so inspirational Linda!! You rock!
PS - I love that you posted a cruise card and you met Angie on a cruise. :) Was that on purpose?
Well, I will be able to do this one - my snow cap is in the post to me still so I missed out again. Off to check out Angie's blog right now.
OOOO, so excited. I loved this technique from Creative Chemistry (thinking it must be the same one). Can't wait to play! Thanks so much Linda for hosting this great challenge each week. Fun to see your journal cover too. Must. Jump. Into. Journaling. Ahhh, i want to do it all. Have a great week!
I keep forgetting that CC2 is a Friday!! I just got a lovely surprise.
What a fantastic card you have created Linda! And thanks for a great technique. I just loved this during the Creative Chemistry class.
Oh, I love this one! Congrats to Angie for creating a blog and to Nichole for winning Angie's art piece!
Wow!!! I'm so excited for Angie. It means the world to see her new blog ;) I love the heartfelt words she posted in her very first post. So touching!
As I was reading the CC2C today I literally had to jump over to view her blog before reading further...then when I came back to finish reading I seen the Now open your book & thought that was the click & realized it was the sponsor announcement. lol :D One of those days.
Then...I kept reading further & seen drum roll & now I'm swelled with tears!!! I can't say Thank You enough to StudioL3 & Angie for such a generous treasure. I now have a story that goes with it that means sooo much. My heart is just pitter pattering away. With deepest Humble Thanks for the wonderful gift.
I'm a bit 'scared' about this next challenge but after reading what Angie wrote I think I can re-visit this technique & embrace my imperfections. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the example you created Linda.
HUGS
Although I cannot join in Linda am so enjoying all the fab entries. Loving the amazing ship. Annette x
Yeah...congrats Nichole!!! A goody bag to fill with Timmy goodness!
I love your card Linda, the net at the bottom is a lovely touch. I've just added my entry - sorry to have missed last week x
Love your creation! Your marbled stains background is so gorgeous!!! I've followed the directions in the book, but my backgrounds don't look marbled. I do like how they look, and submitted on anyway.
So gorgeous, Linda! Love the ship with that background. Fantastic card!
Your Bon Voyage card is simply gorgeous Linda!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and upcoming week, you've started mine with a big smile!
That ocean liner looks like it's sailing right off the card. Very cool technique!
Beautiful card GF! That stamp set is calling my name, esp after you using it so fabby. Luv the tech, I'll be ba-ack! hugs
Love your tag, Linda. The netting in the corner just sets the whole thing off.
Thank you for creating such inspiring pieces of art! LOVE IT!!!
A fantastic inspiring card Linda, your background looks great! xx
Awesome job, Linda!! I had to get that stamp set awhile back... I just love that ship! Anyways, you did an amazing job with this technique and I adore the little bit of netting on it--kudos!!
Your card is very very beautiful, the cruise reminds me of the Titanic that recently had an Anniversary. thanks for sharing...
This technique makes a fabulous background for your Bon Voyage card.
Marilyn
LOVE your card, Linda .. and this technique!
Thanks for another fun challenge!!
Ooh, Linda, your marbled stains background same out terrific - it is perfect for the nautical theme! Thanks for giving us one more reason to look forward to Fridays! And thank you for the very kind comment you left on my blog for last week's entry. Hope to be able to be a regular with your challenge.
Finally, I'm jumping in, Linda! It was a real learning experience for me even though I'd done the technique before in Creative Chemistry 101. It's fun to get really inky again.
Thanks for another great challenge Linda!! Love your card, you've made it look so easy....I struggled!! LOL

Had fun trying this technique. Your example is fantastic.
Shucks....I didn't get a chance to play this week, just an out of time, but I love all the wonderful art and will use this tech...hugs
I'm so bummed…I thought I had until midnight. I've had a rough week- had my son in the ER twice this week and had to stay in bed, cuddling him for 5 days but now he is better and I whipped out a tag…but i missed the cut off by 23 minutes. I do hope you will pop over and check it out anyway, I have appreciated your comments a lot. Good news is I found my CC2 Book!!!!! On to the next one right?!
Sorry I missed the linky deadline (family needs), but I did want to share what I created. Here's the link to my blog post: http://magicdelights.blogspot.com/2012/05/atcs-tim-holtz-style.html
