Back again? Don't I have anything better to do? well yes, as a matter of fact, I do. But seeing as how Creative Chemistry 103 just went live, those other things will simply have to wait. Good thing I cleaned the bathroom this morning, because nothing else is going to get done this week! lol.
So, day one.
I tried four of the five techniques. I skipped the first one, as I don't have any re-inkers, so can't play with my DIY pad yet...
It's been a fun evening with plenty of enjoyable techniques, and miserable failures, but that's how you learn, no?
Technique one - Distress Highlight stamping:
I LOVE this technique! The image looks raised and puffy, even though it's completely flat, and the colour integrity is amazing!
Technique two - Distress Off-set stamping:
I really enjoyed this one too. If you glance at it quickly though, it feels like your eyes are going funny, lol.
Technique three - Distress washed watercolour
Time to play with a little more colour. This one is loads of fun, but would probably have worked better on a larger surface, so there could have been more colour along the sides.
Technique four - Distress micro glaze resist
This one went rather terribly wrong. I think it was probably a combination of picking the wrong colours and using Dylusions rather that Distress sprays (don't have any of those yet...), but I wasn't at all happy how it came out. Oh well, hopefully it'll turn out better next time :-)
Well, that was day 1. If all goes according to plan, I'll be back every day this week as I play along.
Must go collapse now,
Have an awesomesauce evening,

Love seeing all your creations and improvisations. I love the saturation of your last tag- the deep dark colors and lighter background drew me in.
Fabulous techniques Sammy, I hope you enjoy your workshop.

These are a fabulous selection of tags, great images and colours.
I met you, sort of, last Wednesday at Knutsford, didn't realise it was you till I read the list properly, I was the one that arrived late.
