Creative Chemistry 103 Day 2
All about Paints and Stains
I just have to SHOUT....
"I AM EXCITED ABOUT CREATIVE CHEMISTRY!"
I am loving it!
I set a goal ....
I am going to try not to OVERTHINK THINGS!
I am going to BE BRAVE...
THIS is FUN and AMAZING..
and I am not going to worry about how any of
my work turns out...I can redo, practice, and
continue to improve....
THIS IS FOR ME!
Here is my tag for
DISTRESS PAINT RESIST...
As you can see...my tag is going to help me to
REMAIN FEARLESS
TO BE BRAVE
(more tags to post later)
LOL....I wish there was no such thing as sleep and
interruptions...
Here are the other 4 tags

Here are the other 4 tags
Distress Stain Rub Resist
Distress Luminous Mica
Distress Marker Spritzed Watercolor
The first four of these lessons were FABULOUS...
Here is a little information about each one....
Tag #1: Distress Paint Resist
I have stamped with paint many times, but
I found the added layers so very interesting
and it added so much depth to my tag.
I LOVE THIS!
Tag #2: Distress Paint Lifting
I definitely need to switch to flip tops on my paint.
Here is why....
Yep if I had switched my tops...this wouldn't have
happened! I have some...I need to count my paint and
purchase some for the rest.
I am in love with this technique...this is also
perfect to try if you like to art journal.
For me I wrote the steps down as a reminder.
I kept wanting to put the stencil down and then paint.
(yep I sometimes have trouble following directions and
want to go off into the sunset -LOL)
My mind was focused on what color of paint / stencil to
use instead of the technique. I love how this finished tag
turned out.
Tag # 3: Distress Stain Rub Resist
I have always enjoyed rubbings.
I found that my Basic Grey Roller Stylus just
didn't have the oomph I needed to transfer my
rubons. Of course I didn't want to use my stash of
Tim's (I will save those for the perfect project)
so I used something older. So I switched to an old
bone folder. The reason I liked using this tool is
that the tip of the bone folder has a larger surface and
I was able to transfer the image faster. Rubbing lots
of items can sometime take a while with a small tool.
I am sorry Tim....but by the time I heard you say put
random images around the edges of your tag...
I was already going for a complete image....
Right smack in the middle!
I wouldn't change anything about this tag...
LOVE IT!
Tag # 4 Distress Luminous Mica
Here is my tag BEFORE
I sprayed it with Distress Tarnished Brass
I love how there is so much going on with these
colors....I really didn't want to spray it...
but I was GooD and did what the teacher asked!
And spray I did! Be careful with the sprays...
they are very good at what they do!

Tag # 5 Distress Marker Spritzed Watercolor
O K I am going to be honest...
I am not CRAZY about this technique....
I have tried this several times and out of all the
techniques...this is my least favorite.
(maybe I need Tim to hold my hand)

Out of all the markers I tried...I only got two to
work....I probably would of had "MUD" on my
tag because after a while...I was just picking up
markers trying to get them to work...I didn't care
what color it was.
So yes...I finally gave up and just used my spray
stain...I like how it turned out too!
I have to give Tim some credit here...he was
very enthusiastic about his project!
I PROMISE Tim...I will continue to practice
on this technique!
Hooray...DAY 2 Tags Completed!
