Hello Again with Distress Technique Samples

I hope you’re all having a great summer!  I have been taking care of family “stuff” and haven’t posted in quite some time!  I wanted to post my Distress Samples from Tim Holtz’s Creative Chemistry Class.  These are the first four – They’re a partial from Day One, although today is Day 4 already!  (Behind as usual! :-O Yikes!).

This is Distress DIY Ombre using a DIY Distress Ink Pad.  Close-ups of the tags and cards are below the composite photos.

Next up is Distress Highlight Stamping Technique

This Distress Off-Set Stamping Technique uses an old Acey Deucy Stamp from the 90’s!  I was obsessed with these!  Tim used a detailed rose stamp but I have almost no flower stamps in my collection!  Very Cool Technique!

I love, love, love this stamp and these colors!  The technique is Distress Micro-Glaze Resist.

This DIY Ink Pad used 3 different Distress Ink colors:  Frayed Burlap, Gathered Twigs, Walnut Stain.  I’m definitely going to be making more of these ink pads!

This is the first Tag.  It’s a little difficult to see the 3 colors but, in person, they’re noticeable.

The pieces on this card were saved from my “leftovers” pile.  Always fun to use up your stash!

I wasn’t quite sure I’d like this technique but it was really cool.  The colors used were:  Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Broken China, Bundled Sage, Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn.

The lace strip on the top of this card is from Tim Holtz’s Lace Thinlit Dies. I cut out a piece of patterned paper from my “left-overs.”   The beautiful little pearl is a new TH Fastener.  The ribbon is Crinkle Ribbon Dyed in the same colors used for the flower.

I used lots of colors to create this look – Stormy Sky, Evergreen Bough, Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Weathered Wood, Vintage Photo, Victorian Velvet, Tattered Rose, Hickory Smoke and Antique Linen.

This is the image before it was restamped.

I love the Texture Fade on this one.  Doesn’t it remind you of a wave?

This used lots of Distress Marker Colors and Micro-Glaze.  I

This is my favorite card, colors and technique!  The little ribbon is another “leftover.”  More details tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
