Creative Chemistry Day 5: Alcohol Ink

Here my projects for day 5 of the Tim Holtz

online classes of Creative Chemistry 103.

All the techniques incorporate alchol ink and yupo paper.

So what to do when you have no yupo paper?

Well shop, you will say, but it would not be here in time,

so I just experimented a little.

I choose the resist technique.

I tryed on several papers if the technique as Tim shows it in his video

tutoral, but no paper i had worked. So with my card and tags

I cheated a little by finally using bleach to try and get the same effect.

Finally these were the best samples to use.

This green background is alcohol ink on ranger matte stamping paper.

I made an alcohol background and then i stamped the bottles

with bleach. Not the best result, but ok for the tag.

I finally stamped the bottles also in black on top of the background.

Also some die cut bottles from dample papers I used to

decorate the tag. The words creative chemistry are printed on

kraft paper with the computer. 103 is a die cut.

This tag is just bleach on dark brown paper. That seemed to 

work best, but no alcohol ink. I loved the background,

so I had to finish this and make it into a tag.

Here i used the alcohol ink on some funny shiny paper that was

lying in my stash. No not photo paper. After adding the alcohol ink

was added, I stamped the bottles with bleach. The lines did not stay

were straight, but gave a nice look, so I stamped the teacher on top

and gave him also some bottles make his potions. Is it Tim mixing

the creative chemistry? 

Anyway, not the real technique, but I had fun playing.

Thanks for looking.

Have a creative day.

Club Scrap Artist Challenge: a sketch

A sketch challenge for the Club Scrap Artist Team, yeah!

I love sketches as you know

and here is my double scrap page made with the

wonderful Club Scrap September kit called Transformations.

This is the sketch we got.I wasn't into all the tiny squares, so 

I just put them all together as one big oneleaving

much more space for stamping and adding text.

First a little about the page: you see pictures from 

a birthday celebration of my MIL. She does not want to

know her age,but shhhhh it is her 90th birthday!

On these pages you see the grandchildren performing for her.

The large sentiment is from Botanicals.

On this page I also used the technique of the month: bleach.

The stones worked great on the darker paper and when you get

that age,you really rock!

The second sentiment is from a very old Club Scrap kit

called Bistro, but fitting here.

On the green squares I used a flower stamp from the 

April Botanical;s kit with bleach and it gave a 

great effect.

The stones are stamped with black ink on the silver paper 

that came with the kit and are easy to cut in little piles too.

Here the right pageof the lay out:lots of rocks!

The sentiments are typed and printed with the computer.

I used the Painted free font,that you can download HERE.

The rocks are stamped with versamark and embossed with 

black embossing powder. Then colored with pencil.

More ideas on the sketch can be seen at the Club Scrap Blog

and from there you are linked to the other Team members

and their awesome work.

Have a creative day!
