Create with TLC March Blog Hop

 Welcome to the

CREATE with TLC BLOG HOP

This is a circular hop, so where ever you start, you

should see all the blogs and can grab all

the FREEBIES.

I hope you came over from the CTLC blog

to see what I have for you to play with.

 I have a card and a technique for you and you can 

grab the image below. Just click on the picture

and save it to your own computer.

On my card you see a firework like background

that I made with distress stains.

It is a technique that is called "Bingo Blast".

 You take the colors of distress stain you like

and unscrew the lid.

 Use the cushion of the bottle direct to the paper.

Don't do it softly, do it with a burst. 

This way you get the splashes.

 As you see I did it with 2 colors, 

but you can do it with any number you want.

Here is the finished background I used for the card.

Of course you can do it also on black paper!

Yes, there is picket fence and you can see what I

made HERE.

Hope I gave you some crafty inspiration, but there is more

for you to see and to grab.

Go over to the wonderful blog of my friend

Creative Chemistry Day 8

 Day 8 is all about PAINT in

the online class by Tim Holtz

I just love the look and feel of these tags.

I seem to have a theme in these tags

today: butterflies. These stamps are all

by Club Scrap from the Papillon kit.

 Tag #1:

Paint Dabber Resist Technique

This tag is made on sticky back canvas and it just looks

wonderful. It is a pity this does not show on the picture.

 Tag #2

Crackle Paint Resist Technique

After doing the first tag, I just had to try it again in a

lighter version. I love this technique. It has an awesome

look to it.Sure going to do this again. Very grungy.

 Tag #3:

Shattered Stains Technique

This is absolutely awsome. It really does look like

glass. In the background i stamped a branch and used

a white distress marker. Wow does it show!

Have a creative day!

Creative Chemistry Day 7

Day 7 of the CC101 Class is all about 

EMBOSSING.

Tim Holtz is teaching is all about the different

powders and how to use them.

It is hard to see the embossing on the tags, but I assure

you it is there!

Tag #1

Nostalgic Batik Technique

I used my rather new Valentine Stamps for this

beautiful technique. The XOX are die cut letters

that I thoughtgave the tag a finished look.

Tag #2: 

Rusted Enamel Technique

Doesn't this tag just look like a piece of metal?

I love this for a background, so cool!!

Tag #3:

Distress Powder Resist Technique

This tag is done with old paper distress embossing powder.

I never liked it too much, but now that I know more

about how to use it, I might even start liking it!

 

Have a creative day!

Creative Chemistry 101 Day 6

 Day 6 from the online class by

Tim Holtz

is all about Distress Markers.

Now I just have 9 markers ordered (sets are not yet

available over here) and they came today.

So on to the tutorials in  the

Creative Chemistry 101 class.

Tag #1

 Watercoloring with Markers Technique

I thought the tag was so empty,

so I added some stamping on the side.

 Tried my first card with the markers.

Looks great on watercolor paper.

I like the soft tones.

 Tag #2

 Blending with Markers Technique

Also added some stamps to make the

tag less empty.

Tag #3

Stamping with Markers Technique

Thise tags is stamped on the new Ranger

stamping paper. I love the look and feel of it

so I had to make another one because

this technique came out so nice.

Have a creative day!

 

Blog Hop soon!

You must know by know that with

 a blog hop

I always have a little tutorial for you,

 so do come back for more on the

31st of March 

and don't forget

the freebies

Today I have a fun background technique for you

called: Bing Blast

While doing the Creative Chemistry 101 class with Tim Holtz,

we learned a lot about the use of Distress stains.

But not this, so i want to share with you how to create 

an easy background with distress stains.
You just open your stain and trow the sponge onto
 your paper and you get this fun looking blast.

Now you can do this with all colors.
Usually it is hard to get something on black,
but with picket fence in the market you can create

wonderful black and white backgrounds (for Christmas???)

(for larger version click on picture)

 I used the image from the blog hop and a sentiment from Create with TLC

and doodled some flowers from Stampin'Up!

Hope to see you again soon!

Have a creative day!

Creative Chemistry Day 5

As the Creative Chemistry 101 class is moving along,

I seem to fall behind. Not only because there is life to live as well,

but because not all my projects look how i think they

should look and i keep trying to get it ok.

BTW did you know that you can still enter the class if you want?

And than you have a lifetime of watching all the videos and

trying the techniques.

The 5th lesson Tim Holtz is teaching us all about distress stains.

Tag #1

 

Working with distress stain on kraft resist paper.

That is just a wonderful technique and this is the result

of my playing with some of the sewing stamps.

Tag #2

Working with the white "picket fence"distress stain.

It was not quite what I expected. Even though iIdried

ot pretty quick, id did not show up as crisp as I thought it would.

The right one was the first one and I did not like it much,

but the left one came out much better.

Tag #3

A marbeling technique with the distress stains.

This way one can create a wonderful background.

Have a creative day!

Easter inspiration

 Besides making tutorials for the on-line classs,

Tim Holtz also has a fun

 project on his blog  for Easter.

After reading all the instructions, I made this card and 2 tags.

 It is super easy and so much fun to do.

For the card I used the  cloisonne egg stamp by

 Michael Strong,

the chicks are made with a punch

and everything else is Tim Holtz.

For the tags I used also some subway art and a sentiment

by Create with TLC.

 Subway Art by Create with TLC.

The  bunny is covered with fuzzy material

and the bow is colored with blue stickles.

The sentiment is printed with the computer

on kraft paper.

Again the Easter egg by Michael Strong.

Doesn't it all look yummy?

Have a creative day!
