Back

I almost can't believe I didn't post for like half a year. I didn't drop from the earth however. I had a rough year. But it is almost over, so I'm starting with a fresh start. And crafting is most certainly a big part of it for 2013. I crafted today for the first time in months and I loved every minute of it. All my creativity came back, a lot of new idea's but I guess that will be for next year. So excited!

Simon Says Stamp & show the depth of distress

For me it is all about the distress lines. I love the products and the techniques, in my eyes it is all about mastering the techniques and then combine them.

In my piece for this week I took a frame where I used the crackle paint with the distress stains, this effect is one of my favourites.  For inside the frame I used the paint dabber resist technique where I stamped with paint dabber first and then I blended out 4 colours distress ink ( 2 spring & 2 summer colours) they are complementing each other so well, that I couldn't resist.

I like it like it is, but I could also pop it in a picture frame but I fear that the crackle effect will be a bit lost by the glass in front of it.

Tim Holtz Creative chemistry 101 - Day 5

For me this day had a few new techniques that I never performed, so I enjoyed doing those a lot.

Tim Holtz Creative chemistry 101 - Day 4

The techniques used that day are fantastic, I adore them. Can't tell you much about how it is done, but I'll show you the result.

Tim Holtz Creative chemistry 101 - Day 3

My executions of the techniques Tim showed the 3rd day. I had to improvise some because I didn't had all the supplies available to me but never the less I enjoyed doing the technique itself and that is what it is about isn't it.

Simon Says Stamp & show a bit of brown

For the Simon Says Stamp & show a bit of brown challenge I made a tag. The colour in the tag are from the new Summer Distress Ink and the browns are vintage photo and gathered twigs.

Tim Holtz Creative chemistry 101 - Day 2

I enjoyed this series a lot and finally I got around to take pictures, so the first day wasn't really a lesson to take pictures of, but day 2 it was. I had soo much fun making the tags. For all the techniques and how it is done I gladly refer to the Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101 course.
