Creative Chemistry 101 Day Ten

Last day :( and only one pic to upload today and wow . . . I have to say I was not a fan of distress stickles until today . . . But after using the rock candy for this technique I have changed my tune. They are sooooo pretty!! :)

So here is my last project for Creative Chemistry 101. The pics aren't showing all the sparkle or you wouldn't see the image behind.

But you get the idea. the little glimmers you can see are all over the image :)

  I had to choose girly colours for my last one as I have used such of variety of colours over the last two weeks I wanted something that looked very girly... Mothers day card perhaps? OOO ideas happening. I need to finish a couple of cards off then you will be bombarded by new blogs, hopefully one for each day of CC101. Don't forget it's not too late to take the classes and you don't need to have everything ranger to do them, Tim actively encourages you to use your stash!!!

Creative Chemistry 101 Day Nine

Second last day... Getting there :) Perfect pearls!

Anyone who knows me knows I love all things shiny. I have both pearl ex and perfect pearls lol and bling out the wazoo...

My spray mists are not made with reinker tsk tsk as I love using my colour wash for mists and tend to make up bigger batches, usually around 50ml as I use mists a lot.

I love this technique. How pretty it is :)

So I had to do it twice ;) lol

2nd generation

First Gen

Second Gen

It's really a balancing act between too much and not enough water. I completely washed one out with too much lol

But the result is so pretty I did two. . .

I would make the whole world sparkly if I could! just give me a giant glitter shaker and some wings!!! Hahaha. I will definitely be using these techniques again that's for sure :) There was one I hadn't tried before and now I have I likes it!! :)

Only one more day to upload. I finished that one just before writing up this post to post later lol...

Creative Chemistry 101 Day Eight

Almost there! :) What an adventure this has been. I can say I have loads of extra's I haven't made into anything yet. But I do have 11 complete cards so far to show you later :)

Day 8 was paint. I still have one work in progress. I used milled lavender for my crackle and am ho hum about it lol... But it still needs some distressing so we shall see how it turns out :)

So my first two are okish but is a bit hard to see the resist in normal light. This is because it is unprimed canvas (I don't have any sticky back). Next time I will prime first! I like the colours though :)

Butterflys! swoon lol I misted this one with water so that the white would pop more...

Ok even more butterflys. This is the technique on plain old cs. As the canvas wasn't working thought I would try this lol. Love how it turned out!

Ok ones just a lil dark lol. Was too busy haaving a chat ;) and forgot to dab the flowers lol.

Ok so rather than post without the last pic I decided to suck it up and post lol... Had a bit of problem with my sticky stamp lifting the crackle pain but I think it adds to the distressed look :) lol

So we are close to the end :( Hopefully there will be another class at some point!

Creative Chemistry 101 Day Six

Oops posted day 7 first lol... so here is day 6 as well :) Day 6 was markers. Although a lot of my colours are no where near the distrerss colours I still had a lot of fun playing with these :) I also tried some of the techniques with my faber castells. As you will see from my pics though more practice is needed! lol

One thing I still want to try is seeing if I can use both together in a project... :)

Creative Chemistry 101 Day Seven

Hiya getting close to the end now Boohoo, it's been so much fun. The amount of questions Tim has been answering on the forum has been unbelievable too :) What a Brilliant class.

Day 7 is embossing basics :) Not quite got the hang of Distress powders but maybe after I get a different colour to try. Only One I had on hand was Worn Lipstick thanks to My sister :)


As you can see I could barely get her to show up in these,

and in this one you can't really see the powder lol... I do not know what I am doing wrong. Think I need to try on white instead of manilla...

Also had a lil trouble with this one. The ink was soaking right  in. Will have to try a different paper or reinking my pads so they are juicier...

This was my second go as you will see why I did two in a minute lol,

I decided on take two after I left dirty great finger marks on take one! lol

So definitely more practice needed for these lol techniques... I will get there though. I plan to redo these classes when I have a bit more time! Lifetime access means I can play anytime . . .
