OK...Tim Holtz has but out a second edition of his wonderful Compendium of Curiosities book...and Linda at Studio L3 has bravely led us into the fray with weekly challenges. So, on Week #3, we have been assigned Page #46: Marbeled Stains.This was also a technique demonstrated in Tim's Online class, "Creative Chemistry 101", and I have to say....I failed. My attemps were...lets just say... yucky. So I chucked it up to a technique that just wouldn't work for me (much like the airgun/alcohol ink one from the first book) . But, I have a few more stains now (ok, more than a few) so I bravely stepped forth...using a very small scrap of paper...just in case... And Oh Hot Damn..It Worked!! How very cool!! Very much like the shaving cream effect! OK, I'm game...lets try a tag...and bingo! I know what I did wrong...but since we can't say...in fairness to Tim...I'll just say..don't skimp on step #1.
Below are my two efforts...so very cool!! On the tag, the stamp is from Impression Obsession and the saying from StampScapes.
Now, this new series of challenges runs from Friday to Thurs. night. so there's not a lot of time left to get your stains on...but if you didn't do well on a prior try..I strongly suggest you give this one another look!
Have a great weekend everyone.
Lovely finished tag there Kim. You have come in at a close shave there!! Love the colours. Chipped Sapphire? I like that one!
ReplyDeleteI too didn't get the knack of this one and this week I have had diddley squat time to do it! Hey Ho! Perhaps I will give it a bash on Monday.
Beautiful tag!
ReplyDeleteYours has come out beautifully. I ran out of time for this one, though I did do it for CC101.
ReplyDeleteHot damn, it worked SPECTACULARLY!!! This is fantastic, Kim. It reminds me of Wedgewood china my mom has, actually. What a great use of color, and I love the stamping, too. Bravo, girlfriend-- you rocked it!
