Tuesday, June 5, 2012. Two Techniques, Double the Fun. Tami Bayer, lead at Fiskateers.com, hosted a Stamp Out online crop a few weeks ago. This card had some issues and didn't make the stamp out deadline but I'm happy to post it here, now. The background utilizes Tim Holtz' brushless watercolor and rock candy distress stickles techniques. The background stamp is from Fiskars Plumage set and I generously applied additional distress ink with blending tool and foam before doing the rock candy part. Please s...

http://travelingdownacraftyroad.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 26, 2012. I needed a break from all things Distress and Cheryl Waters, Lead Fiskateer at Fiskateers.com, had just the ticket, er tag! She issued a challenge to create a mixed media tag using at least five tools and three different mediums. I came up with this! I'll be back in a day or two with more Tim tags from class.

Traveling Down A Crafty Road: Creative Chemistry 101--Day 10, last class
http://travelingdownacraftyroad.blogspot.com/2012/04/creative-chemistry-101-day-10-last.html
Sunday, April 1, 2012. Creative Chemistry 101- Day 10, last class. Only one tag for this day but it is a beautiful technique. I'm looking forward to using this again and again! This technique was Rock Candy Distress Stickles. My stamp is from Fiskars Asian Inspired Set. It's a large background acrylic stamp and I had trouble getting the stamp to accept the distress ink. When that happens, I usually rub a white eraser over the acrylic. I couldn't find my eraser! So I used Colorbox pigment inks.

http://travelingdownacraftyroad.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. Wow, what a Fiska-fabulous weekend! The Fiskateers hosted an online crop and the challenges were flying at fever pitch. The message board was hopping, the gallery was popping and the chat room was, well, chatty. The crop started mid morning on Friday and the majority of the challenges were due by Saturday, 10 pm CST. I spent most of my free time on Sunday commenting on my fellow Fiskateer’s lovely projects. Here's one of mine. That’s my background paper! Thursday, August 27, 2009.
