Hello, my friends. I don't normally work outside the home, but occasionally I get asked to work on a special project. Today was one of those days, so I didn't get to check out the class content for
Creative Chemistry 101 by
Tim Holtz until this evening. Since I know if I let one day slide and don't get the homework done, it gets much harder to catch up, I was determined to get my tags done tonight.
The first technique was watercoloring with re-inkers. I really love how this tag turned out.
The second technique was layered misting. I almost decided to not do this one, because I didn't want to make ink mists, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I'm sure that I'll use them now that I have them.
The third technique was making a custom stamp pad. I didn't have cut & dry felt, but I did have a very old package of cut & dry foam. And although Tim said specifically that we shouldn't use the foam for this type ink pad, the package actually showed doing that very thing. So I went ahead and made mine that way. I'm sure the felt would have been a better choice, but I just used what I had and it worked OK.
We've been having such beautiful weather, it makes me want to plant my garden, but I know it's still possible to get snow or frost. I'm so glad you stopped by today.

Splendid examples! I can't tell you how many times i land on your site when looking for inspiration. First time i took a moment to comment. Thanks for sharing your talents with us all!
Gorgeous as always :) I use my colour washes to make mists lol... So will probably stick to them rather than use my reinkers unless I want a specific colour. I am a day behind ugh :( The late uploading yesterday meant I didn't get the vids til my morning time and I had to go to school with my youngest. Bye the time I got home day 5 was up argh... (I live is australia) Have a lovely weekend :)
Beautiful tags! The first one really caught my eye.
oh what wonderful happy tags these are. hugs
Fantastic tags! I had to use the foam as well because I didn't have the felt either. Mine didn't turn out real well, but good enough for the example. i loved the watercolor one.
Great tags! I thought the same thing with the mists..I ended up making 3..I put them out on my desk so I make sure I use them. I figure if they are "out" they will get used. Thanks for sharing..It makes the class extra fun!
Beautiful! Just like a flower garden.
