Creative Chemistry 101 Day 5 Tags

Hello everyone! School is back...the heat is on (literally....

the weather has been 35 degrees and above) and life is very busy again. I have two tags to share today from the Creative Chemistry 101 class, the technique is using using distress stains. I have a few in my stash and had an opportunity to use them and enjoy using them. The above tag is stamping with stains and below...

marbled stains.

That is all for today. Tomorrow we are expecting another scorcher...I think 40 degrees or even higher. I am so thankful for air-conditioning!

Thanks for stopping by!

Creative Chemistry Tags

Hello everyone! I have been watching the Tim Holtz sneak peaks for Creativation and boy are there some amazing products coming our way! It also motivated me to continue with my CC101 tag making, so today I am sharing my creations for Day 3 and 4.

The above tag was my completed tag for day 3. I was unable to complete the other two tags as I don't own alcohol inks, however I enjoyed the reflections stamping no the less.

The next tag is watercolouring with reinkers....

layered misting....

and finally custom stamp pad technique.

I am really enjoying creating these tags and I am certainly glad that I have signed up to do it. I have more tags to share very soon!

Creative Chemistry 101 ~ Day Two ~

Hello everyone! A little while ago, I purchased the Creative Chemistry 101 class and enjoyed watching all of the tutorials and learning all of the properties of distress etc. Last night I decided that I would make a start and commence the class...and boy did I have fun! I had placed an order of some materials earlier in the term as I had planned to complete the course in the school holidays.

Day Two has three techniques using distress inks. The longest part for me was locating a stamp in my stash that was a solid image! I managed to find a Stampin' Up! stamp that I had in my stash- crisis averted and creating continued.

To create my tags, I used Ranger cardstock and die cut them using ranger manilla cardstock. I already had some #8 kraft tags in my stash.

As the class is full of techniques, you receive printouts that you can add to the back of your tags for reference. I also added the colours of my distress inks as well.

Supplies:

Paper: Ranger manilla cardstock, Ranger Kraft Tag size #8, Distress watercolor paper

Dies:  Tim Holtz Tag Collection

Stamps: Stampin' Up! Upsy Daisy, Tim Holtz Urban Chic

Ink: Distress twisted citron, mermaid lagoon, ground espresso, wilted violet (tag 1)
victorian velvet, milled lavender, bundled sage, frayed burlap, gathered twigs, tumbled glass (tag 2)
mustard seed, cracked pistachio, ground espresso, mermaid lagoon, seedless preserves (tag 3)
