The Designs By Ryn, Famous Water Droplet Stamp and the Tim Holtz Stencil, Shattered Glass.

Morning Bloggers.

A Tag featuring the FAMOUS!

Water Droplet Stamp

By Designs By Ryn for you today.

The design of this stamp is amazingly clever.

It looks so REAL!

Distress Inks background.

A Tim Holtz Stencil, Shattered Glass

laid over the top of the background

then sponged with 'Aged Mahogany' DI

( I think it looks like a Spiders web !)

Finally, the super Raindrops stamped

over top with some black Versafine ink.

A few dots to the droplets with a white gel pen.

Job done!

Back soon, thank you for looking today.

Creative Chemistry 102 - Day 1... Part 2

Another Tag to share with you today from the Creative Chemistry 102 class with Tim Holtz.

This lesson is the 'Altered Surfaces' Technique.

As you can see, I've again featured the Alteration Die 'Tattered Poinsettia' cut using some Wendy Vecchi 'Clearly for Art' modelling film along with 'Frosted Film' from the Tim Holtz range of products

The Alteration Dies 'Pediments' are back too!

Thanks for looking today. I'm still sneezing but feeling much better.

Thank you for your good wishes and kind comments.

Much appreciated. See you soon.

Creative Chemistry 102 ... Day 1 - Part 1.

I'm not feeling 'Tickety-boo' today but really enjoyed starting my Creative Chemistry102 journey with Tim Holtz.

This Tag has a Distress Paints Marbled Background and the Alterations Die cut Pediments are Coloured Crackle on Grunge Paper.
Wendy Vecchi products 'Clearly for Art' and her signature Archival colour inks for the 'Tattered Poinsettia' along with some frosted film.. love all this stuff!

Sneezing every five minutes but loved getting messy and looking forwad to more of Tim's lessons soon!
So... Part two of Day one as soon as I can!
Thank you for popping over to look again today.
