THCC101, Wk 1, Day 5A

 Title:  Kraft Resist

I created two submissions for Technique A today.  I did not have Kraft Resist paper, so I made my own by using Liquitex Varnish.  The left example of this technique is a map; I painted the roads with Liquitex Varnish which, when it had dried, made the roads resist water-based inks.  On the right, I painted the flowers with Liquitex Varnish and then covered over the page with Distress inks.  The flowers shown through because they had been painted with varnish.

 Title: Stamping with Reflections Technique.

This is the last assignment for Day 3.  While the instructions called for using a Tim Holtz Texture Fade, I had to use something almost as good:  An embossing folder with a decorative pattern in concert with a Tim Holtz accessory that creates unembossed areas within the overall embossed tag.  I used a white-core piece of pink cardstock and stamped it with butterflies.  The shading around the perimeter comes from Ranger Distress Inks.

   Title: Archival Resist Technique

Here is my Creative Chemistry 101, Week 1, Day 3B submission to the terrific art class I am taking at OnlineCardClasses.com .  Unfortunately, I cannot upload this link or submission 3A because the link is down.  Also, the CC101 Graduate icon has returned with no sight of the CC101 Participant icon (thank goodness I saved this to my computer).

Oh, well.  I can wait.  The goal of this exercise was to stamp with archival ink on a card and then completely cover the card with water-based ink like Distress ink.  After buffing the card, the archival ink images are revealed because they are oil-based and, therefore, resist the water-based ink.  Cool.

Onward to exercise 3C.  This one is beautiful, and I can wait to do it.

UPDATE:  The OCC network appears to be going through a fail.  Weekly videos cannot be downloaded either, and the ability to do that is part of the class.  SOOOOO, I bet the OCC person at the other end of my email won't know I emailed her/him.

Oh, well.

Summer CC101 2016 Wk1 Day3A

 Title: Alcohol Ink Agates Technique

It's Day 3 in this Summer art extravaganza, Tim Hotlz's Creative Chemistry 101.  The first homework assignment was to create a composition utilizing alcohol inks on glossy paper, and then top it off with a stamp - I used two.

Because I had no alcohol inks, I purchased an alcohol ink kit from Hobby Lobby.  It had everything I needed in one box, including stamps.  The tree stamp at the page bottom is one of them.

I am located in one of the most beautiful places on earth, the Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas, USA.
