 Summer of Creative Chemistry 101, Week 2, Day 10: Distress Stickles

I dampened a tag and covered it with Peeled Paint Distress Stain.  I dried the tag, then stamped the tree stamp with archival black ink.  I dried that, and then applied a thin coat of Distress Stickles.  The camera doesn't show how charming the result is.

I get to put a CC101 Graduate icon on my blog now.  Woo-hoo.

 Summer of Creative Chemistry, Week 2, Day 9, Technique 3

I applied the following Distress Inks directly to my craft mat:  Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, Mermaid Lagoon, Walnut Stain, Spiced Marmalade, and Mowed Lawn.  I then deposited little clumps of Perfect Pearls on the stains.  Then, I spritzed the inks and powder, after which I dragged my tag through the liquid.  Somewhere along the line, Mermaid Lagoon got lost, but this is the result.  Strangely, the top twinkles more than the bottom.

 Summer of Creative Chemistry 101, Week 2, Day 9, Technique 2:  Perfect Distress.

I wet the tag and covered it with Spun Sugar Distress Ink.  I heat set the tag and stamped it with a Tim Holtz stamp using Picked Raspberry, Mermaid Lagoon, Mowed Lawn, and Walnut Stain Distress Inks in mini ink pads.  I dusted the image with Perfect Pearls (Perfect Pearl) using a fine-tip paint brush, and then dusted away the excess with a large brush.  I then spritzed the tag which caused the ink under the Perfect Pearls to wick.  I heat set the tag and took a photo.

 Summer of Creative Chemistry 101, Week 2, Day 9, Technique 1: Perfect Distress Mist

I wet the tag and then applied Broken China, Festive Berries, and Peeled Paint stain dabbers to my tag, after which I sprayed it with Perfect Pearls Mist.  I know I didn't follow directions, but I have had mica powders clog my mini-misters before.  I just did not want that to happen again.

 Summer of Creative Chemistry, Week 2, Day 8, Technique 3: Shattered Stains.

I found an oval I had die cut during a previous project and used that for my Technique 3: Shattered Stains.  I put a very thick coat of Rock Candy Crackle Paint on the oval and let it dry over night.  In the morning it was nicely crackled so I added various Distress stains to create this gloriously colored object.

 Summer of Creative Chemistry, Week 2, Day 8, Tech 1

I used Distress Glacier White Paint Dabber on a wooden stamp of the Cross on which lillies are hanging.  I let the stamp impression air dry while I worked on the remainder of the Day 8 activities.  Then, I used various colors of Distress Stain Dabbers to color the tag.  The white paint acted as a resist.

 Summer of Creative Chemistry, Week 2, Day 8, Technique 2, Use Crackle Paint

The "House Built on Sand" is crumbling in the storm due to 1) well-documented bad architecture, 2) rising sea levels, and 3) Distress Rock Candy crackle paint aided and abetted by Distress inks and markers, and Micron pens.  Notice the crackled monster rising with the storm surge.  I think I read and watch too much science fiction.
