Compendium of Curiosities 3- Day 3

Woo Hoo! Now I will only be a day behind! I prepped all of these earlier today since they all had wet elements that needed to dry. Just finished them up. So hopefully I can get caught up tomorrow!

 Distress Layered Collage. This is very much like the class that Donna and I took with Tim and Mario at Whim So Doodle back in March, just on a smaller scale.

 Texture Paste Coloring.

 Texture Paste Embossing. This one is COOL!!

 Texture Paste Resist. This is my favorite out of this bunch.

 Distress Grit Paste Grunge.

Compendium of Curiosities 3-Day 2

I am behind. There. I said it! Oh well, if I catch up, okay. And if I don't that's ok too! I will soldier on!

Day two was so much fun! I have ink all over my fingers, under my nails and I don't care!

Here's some pretty tags to look at!

 Distress Paint Resist. LOVE this technique!

 Distress Paint Lifting. I originally did this technique in a Dina Wakely class and Tim "borrowed" it. It was cool to revisit it.

 Distress Stain Rub Resist. This too is a favorite!

 Distress Luminous Mica. I don't know if you can see the shimmer, but it's there! You'll just have to trust me!

 Distress Marker Spritzed Watercolor. This one is done on dry paper.

 The same technique, but done on wet paper.

Compendium of Curiosities 3-Day One

Yesterday was Day 1 of CofC3. I watched all of the videos then LIFE got in my way. So I was up and at 'em first thing this morning and got all five of my tags done. As in years past, I can't tell you HOW the techniques are done. You had to have done CofC One and Two in order to take part 3 and the class is a very affordable $25 and just like with the first two, you have lifetime access to the classes. You can go here to sign up!

 Distress DIY Hombre

 Distress Highlight Stamping (this is one of my favorites!)

 Distress Off-Set Stamping

 Distress Washed Watercolor

 Distress Micro-Glaze Resist

Let's go!

It's the 26th, and that means it's my day to be the featured Design Team member on Roc's Blog!

Bunny and (retro 60's) Camper are off on a vacation! Destination unknown. Hopefully someplace cooler than it's been here in Florida! They don't call them the Dog Days of Summer for nothing!

I used Distress Inks to color my background, then used my Arrows stencil  and Splotches stencil for some visual interest. I reversed Bunny so he could pull Camper and used my PrismaColor pencils to color both.Hopefully they will send a postcard when they reach their final destination!

I will be giving this postcard to one lucky commenter from here and my Facebook post. All names will be thrown in the hat together. Just be sure I have a way to get in touch with you if I don't know who you are, please!

CofC3-Week 8

Tim's homework for us for Week 8 was using Distress Differently and Embossing Effects. Again, I can't tell you HOW I achieved my results, but I can show you the finished product!

 

SDC253-Beach or Sea

Time for a new two week challenge at SDC.

Here's what they had to say about this challenge: "The beach is always such a fun and relaxing place to be. Whether it's sun or just fun in the sand and surf, let's see your best Beach themed projects this week"

I decided to let Flying Pig fly under the water for an adventure! I also used Leaf Border in place of seaweed. I drew the "mask" on Pig's face and added some Glossy Accents to give it dimension. I also hand drew the snorkel. There's some blue Stickles for the air bubbles going up to the top as well! Hope Pig remembers he's a mammal  and has to surface to breathe!
