So life here is busy, busy but I made this tag couple of weeks ago and have found a snippet of time to blog it ...so here it is :</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am still so in love with the new distress oxides and enjoying my playtime with them and eagerly awaiting news to see if more colours will be coming...I do hope so!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So for the background on this tag I used iced spruce and vintage photo..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEduxUMOHL8y0X4ggAYCnb6_R7x26j6SirCzhkdxTLRqPIOhjiJ9-7cctYrn50sKD1UBOw5pLIs2rR6LNS38WxAICjXrchiaswLMsAHMHNT_LPT7066ju6abhuGjqfl9W3RbYarKlB6BU/s1600/IMG_5627.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEduxUMOHL8y0X4ggAYCnb6_R7x26j6SirCzhkdxTLRqPIOhjiJ9-7cctYrn50sKD1UBOw5pLIs2rR6LNS38WxAICjXrchiaswLMsAHMHNT_LPT7066ju6abhuGjqfl9W3RbYarKlB6BU/s400/IMG_5627.JPG" width="223" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the background of the tag I applied these straight to the tag and spritzed and layered ... I also created another piece , to use to die cut from using walnut stain distress oxide and distress ink and iced spruce distress oxide , applied to craft sheet , spritzed and dipped into..</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just love the gorgeous textures and drops of colour this creates ...I edged the tag in walnut stain distress ink</div>
<br />

So it has been a while but here is a tag I created using one of my vintage photos, texture paste and also plenty of distress crayons. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love this vintage photo and for some reason it make me think of my Grandad ...</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by adding texture paste through a selection of Tim Holtz stencils. When dry I added a layer of collage medium so give a great surface to use the distress crayons on...</div>

</center>
Well when Mandy asked if I would like to be a host over at <a href="https://sundaypostcardart.wordpress.com/">Sunday Postcard Art</a> - I was shocked as I hadn't blogged for an age but decide it might just be the push I needed to get me finding some stolen moments of inky...so I said yes, then panicked , wondering why I had said yes...but decided ...I must try to find some inky moments - however far between they are..<br />
<br />
So here goes ....my first ever postcard - the theme is Vintage Gents...and all the details of how to play along can be found here... so why not hop across and join in the fun..<br />
<br />
Here is my make :<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWfgFfwPuzmW8PYN8fhWEU_d8ZUuni_WkLzrWwZvOam9AB1OiMmFt7JXSSLjaiPAi4361ydT6wFFzKAxlGDLp1owEbi2Asnekly-dJP0EHb3FJfGGg7fIZ8Tcl4b1pxZEVeNQnh2JDMzk/s1600/IMG_5422+w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWfgFfwPuzmW8PYN8fhWEU_d8ZUuni_WkLzrWwZvOam9AB1OiMmFt7JXSSLjaiPAi4361ydT6wFFzKAxlGDLp1owEbi2Asnekly-dJP0EHb3FJfGGg7fIZ8Tcl4b1pxZEVeNQnh2JDMzk/s640/IMG_5422+w.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see I left it late ...blame life...but on the plus I managed to use lots of my new goodies from Country View Crafts....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I started by adding some texture paste through a Tim stencil and creating a background using distress oxides...so loving these!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhxq13Epy1G9hJYf7mDkB4NY4a5AUS9ye3yuapqWM0oDnwGMdhWqDnJ89rWzrVuIx3o1cJsYd8zwj4D3FeiyK3wqsATREQ4fYr2u_EF7xXuAQ8iKGXnA5FKKm85l46PyQqdfIImce2WE4/s1600/IMG_5395.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhxq13Epy1G9hJYf7mDkB4NY4a5AUS9ye3yuapqWM0oDnwGMdhWqDnJ89rWzrVuIx3o1cJsYd8zwj4D3FeiyK3wqsATREQ4fYr2u_EF7xXuAQ8iKGXnA5FKKm85l46PyQqdfIImce2WE4/s400/IMG_5395.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I first layered brown ink ( distress oxide ) onto the card itself, then added other colours on top - the real joy of the oxides is being able to layer colours and still see those colours even over darker ones .. lots of water to create the magic..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I knew I wanted to add one of the new paper dolls! - so loving these so expect a few more posts with these ... there are 107 in one pack!</div>

But I decided to add some layers and created a more splattery inky background to die cut some pipes from the new pipeline die from Tim</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I pressed some distress oxide colours onto the crafts sheet and misted with water, to create inky droplets..then swiped the card through, dried and then dipped in again , drying between each layer to stop muddy colours..</div>

<br />
Well like many Tim Holtz fans the distress oxide inks are featuring in my stolen moments of playtime and todays make is using them ...and I am in love with these gorgeous inks , although, limited time to play means I feel I have only scratched the surface of what they can do ...<br />
<br />
So when all my ideology goodies arrived from the lovely Susan ... including my eagerly awaited paper dolls, and boy I was not disappointed they are gorgeous!! I found a few stolen moments to play..and here are the results :<br />

</center>
Well how proud do I feel to be guest designer for the new challenge over at <a href="http://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.co.uk/">Frilly and Funkie</a>! I haven't blogged for such a long time, so be given the opportunity to guest design having won <a href="http://inkypinkycraft.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/stolen-moments-to-get-inky-do-your-best.html">with my first post</a> in nearly six months was a huge honor...just hope I'm not too rusty!<br />
<br />
So the theme is out of the cold...and all the details as well as gorgeous inspiration can be <a href="https://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/out-of-cold.html">found here</a> .<br />
<br />
So I used one of the new fab thickboard Etcetera tags - from Tim Holtz and I chose the medium one for this piece , so here is my make inspired by sunnier times and summer flowers :<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihALpzkeuD_9NDYpYhYekYQNY5vYsP6uS85GjnEZYkvGWKFo1mgeyTmEAu4V_qpNrn3UaIEd19KBN4uKv8dxwZYin041d2qz7GAgIU5isDhgAXKHPtFOgP_bglyidgR1zcdkMKNVd6SeA/s1600/IMG_4838+w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihALpzkeuD_9NDYpYhYekYQNY5vYsP6uS85GjnEZYkvGWKFo1mgeyTmEAu4V_qpNrn3UaIEd19KBN4uKv8dxwZYin041d2qz7GAgIU5isDhgAXKHPtFOgP_bglyidgR1zcdkMKNVd6SeA/s640/IMG_4838+w.jpg" width="364" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by giving the base a coat of distress paint in tumbled glass and smudged on some picket fence with my finger. I added some texture paste through dot fade stencil to add some texture, left to dry and coated with a layer of collage medium .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwOq7Ij7VyrZQwneMeoykGzgqzV9AFM_bUuO-9iwHlY7xB6gay3bYomeyrJV593q4Z6CV0eRmZsyghnRLxXqAvu0IXwnMeAAtw58nDc1gGpCO6U-mIPBsavcfX-yQ90igRpTXRRCyCpm4/s1600/IMG_4757.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwOq7Ij7VyrZQwneMeoykGzgqzV9AFM_bUuO-9iwHlY7xB6gay3bYomeyrJV593q4Z6CV0eRmZsyghnRLxXqAvu0IXwnMeAAtw58nDc1gGpCO6U-mIPBsavcfX-yQ90igRpTXRRCyCpm4/s320/IMG_4757.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I added some lines of distress crayon and smudged in with my finger, gradually and slowly smudging and building up the colour until I was happy - I know I am late to the party on these but I am loving them !</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9XOEhSWVrURKPQS2ngOmUOCmJr_opl9gicrBJZLr2_pTQCsmnR168Mz4FUTa1KG-MtgqI2CkXAn9H2X4Xd82VpPsTmzk10cRVhjB3RTwg82r21Ec2-tYP1XRAstAGb7CldBan2TQiq8/s1600/IMG_4759.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9XOEhSWVrURKPQS2ngOmUOCmJr_opl9gicrBJZLr2_pTQCsmnR168Mz4FUTa1KG-MtgqI2CkXAn9H2X4Xd82VpPsTmzk10cRVhjB3RTwg82r21Ec2-tYP1XRAstAGb7CldBan2TQiq8/s320/IMG_4759.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When happy with the base layer I added a layer of collage medium and added more layers of colour to continue building ...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE73BROEaxJG0qXGsbqa_8yKR-nBTioetXoVwifMbD3c6dX8a3hyNmXZckf-BxvCQi87plaxxu4WONrmiYz2BYvf-HNb5v3l1AJAAsyxiodrrOZCT1rXYBLrtMkAjR6Sjy-3KbhBdylzA/s1600/IMG_4766.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE73BROEaxJG0qXGsbqa_8yKR-nBTioetXoVwifMbD3c6dX8a3hyNmXZckf-BxvCQi87plaxxu4WONrmiYz2BYvf-HNb5v3l1AJAAsyxiodrrOZCT1rXYBLrtMkAjR6Sjy-3KbhBdylzA/s400/IMG_4766.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then lightly sanded back some areas of the edges ...to give a more vintage feel and added in some walnut distress crayon...well there was bound to be brown in there somewhere!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5lXQoqITnq8IMvkNw1SSQylt0sdzrujknR6t3KQrzAF0yVLOH9yO5aE8Q3Jf64yU1k_LpuShYRvEXk6Ht8mLjlHD8huSRAs8JlLnkdcxrnaTZ0_z5BxITFzIkeHeNCNQTn9dOA92jvy0/s1600/IMG_4771.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5lXQoqITnq8IMvkNw1SSQylt0sdzrujknR6t3KQrzAF0yVLOH9yO5aE8Q3Jf64yU1k_LpuShYRvEXk6Ht8mLjlHD8huSRAs8JlLnkdcxrnaTZ0_z5BxITFzIkeHeNCNQTn9dOA92jvy0/s640/IMG_4771.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
this show the texture and colours- was kind of hard to cover some areas up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpXRcC6PB-6YTSq_AIgw_14wgIghaaTZC3ZFkzaLqskJiM9iiA5cHhG3IDh3k52tDxTPG3p3Ar0nKw1KYrDfJK1c8EBBzzOyZ5w53vyAwabDifWS4LDwDM2CTfJfGpbZ1DMj2aM7Qqg5U/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage+background.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpXRcC6PB-6YTSq_AIgw_14wgIghaaTZC3ZFkzaLqskJiM9iiA5cHhG3IDh3k52tDxTPG3p3Ar0nKw1KYrDfJK1c8EBBzzOyZ5w53vyAwabDifWS4LDwDM2CTfJfGpbZ1DMj2aM7Qqg5U/s640/PicMonkey+Collage+background.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then started to add the base layer of collage elements ...slowly building as I went... I had used the other tag to lay out my pieces to get an idea of placement..as that helps me to plan the overall layout.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmHvx4Mpr8ysyeCcF5b-YvkKLG6Ny00VAn9GGe9HvIh4AfI-NFoOyI2OwpZaoly6QCZuncmqFfH3OtKTdFW-WwujnTeR8xlxi1e3XAQsmgdXQy2iBsD02kOZBIeAu3FddyloYQejnJkcA/s1600/IMG_4778.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmHvx4Mpr8ysyeCcF5b-YvkKLG6Ny00VAn9GGe9HvIh4AfI-NFoOyI2OwpZaoly6QCZuncmqFfH3OtKTdFW-WwujnTeR8xlxi1e3XAQsmgdXQy2iBsD02kOZBIeAu3FddyloYQejnJkcA/s320/IMG_4778.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
So now for the details...I wanted a splash of tropical colour and what better than shades of abandoned coral flowers and hand dyes seam binding...I used the Tim Holtz tropical dyes and distress spray stain to colour the foliage and flowers and then added walnut stain distress ink to highlight the edges.<br />
<br />
I do love idea-ology so plenty can be found tucked in between the flowers and foliage ...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyorcCtwGGdQrZFPeOZRbDPbA4G4EHN9BR3XzIaQGWB5W1eqh6ygpZElcb-vDp6QzO1iCOTF_JqzXsFpQvxC0U3vrSAIRi8aKdbPhQk-SqFOfam_7XqJXiGveB9ujLLGDPBXIQ2ZcQz78/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage+colour.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyorcCtwGGdQrZFPeOZRbDPbA4G4EHN9BR3XzIaQGWB5W1eqh6ygpZElcb-vDp6QzO1iCOTF_JqzXsFpQvxC0U3vrSAIRi8aKdbPhQk-SqFOfam_7XqJXiGveB9ujLLGDPBXIQ2ZcQz78/s640/PicMonkey+Collage+colour.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The foliage was dipped into spare stain from the craft sheet to create a more natural mottled look..and a compass idea-ology piece to tie in the while travel / holiday feel.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicU5LwfMdvxA0TjXcDMqM2CLNmxpT81IweNGlpJCp3xBq67yHPPy1ANjvMKBIOWklbML75SS48pj2USA9Abf4qx0UcJ4FSo0ggGmm7DPyuAJoYw2zToJPecTSj7SoxyfzggXa07U_ccLg/s1600/IMG_4844.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicU5LwfMdvxA0TjXcDMqM2CLNmxpT81IweNGlpJCp3xBq67yHPPy1ANjvMKBIOWklbML75SS48pj2USA9Abf4qx0UcJ4FSo0ggGmm7DPyuAJoYw2zToJPecTSj7SoxyfzggXa07U_ccLg/s640/IMG_4844.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the found relatives and am eager to get my inky fingers on the new paper dolls....so this found relative card formed the focal point ...plenty more splashes of colour...very unusual for me..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeTPalKUuR6dbW2qd_uONjPHoJSGtPWJ8rxEFJIS6pksT1K_yAG1KnGepDkh2pj6rIn5kyouF4D6UDtfUh0bLs-VLJI-4YBRG0JHIrY85F-T1TETbldN023I-gSkHzmLQHrTz8KlvYr1U/s1600/IMG_4845.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeTPalKUuR6dbW2qd_uONjPHoJSGtPWJ8rxEFJIS6pksT1K_yAG1KnGepDkh2pj6rIn5kyouF4D6UDtfUh0bLs-VLJI-4YBRG0JHIrY85F-T1TETbldN023I-gSkHzmLQHrTz8KlvYr1U/s640/IMG_4845.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The top was finished with a splash of hand dyed seam binding and an idea-ology plaque- wanderlust was coloured using distress crayon..to complete the piece.</div>

So , after making my resolution to make more time to craft .. in tiny stolen moments - I have managed ...so far, alongside all the home school and mummy stuff to do just that ... in tiny stolen moments...<br />
<br />
The challenge over at Frilly and Funkie this time is winter hues...and I do love this wintery palette , so decide to see if I could make something in time and I have just managed to finish this in time ... so here goes :<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the front of this mini free standing piece has lots of Tim Holtz goodness and lots of layers of distress crayons and collage medium..I know late to the party but I am loving the crayons!</div>

here is the back with another found relative...oh who is awaiting the new paper dolls eagerly...?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The base layer was some stencilled texture paste onto patterned paper from Tim stack...covered with collage medium and then plenty of crayons and some picket fence distress paint too..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</center>
Well it has been a very long while ... and I cannot promise when or how often I will be here ... but I can promise that I am going to try ...as and when life and time allows. ( no need for all the details x)<br />
<br />
So here ,after a very long time ...is a tag...just for me to get inky and sit at my dusty desk....and play with some of my much loved <a href="http://timholtz.com/blog/">Tim Holtz</a> goodies!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQK0q23F89xB6MZbjuQqX5yN3Eq16_Fcm8kA0cXipxBWhzpmPuQj-pZ-Na3YPNu1wWbPWxnR0gAOJHSkD54EKa3V8C3gmzUQKL8Rkz0J8gjQ5oOlvnBL57BplyViAkO7J9nLKsUG4SZS4/s1600/IMG_4565+w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQK0q23F89xB6MZbjuQqX5yN3Eq16_Fcm8kA0cXipxBWhzpmPuQj-pZ-Na3YPNu1wWbPWxnR0gAOJHSkD54EKa3V8C3gmzUQKL8Rkz0J8gjQ5oOlvnBL57BplyViAkO7J9nLKsUG4SZS4/s640/IMG_4565+w.jpg" width="358" /></a></div>
<br />
So ... why a tag ? ....because I love them...they make me smile and take me back to playtime really...<br />
so this tag has some texture paste applied through different stencils...(inspired by creative chemistry 103- way back in the summer) -<br />
<br />

As many of you know , if you stop by here often, I love Tim Holtz and all his yummy products and use them nearly all the time .... but I am loving re-discovering some of these products ..... or reminding myself of how much fun they are .<br />

</center>
Well I am signed up and raring to go ..ready for the start of <a href="https://www.onlinecardclasses.com/product/tim-holtz-creative-chemistry-103/">Creative Chemistry 103</a> ! - If you are new to this ...Tim Holtz as always continues to teach, guide and inspire ...and through his online courses ..<a href="https://www.onlinecardclasses.com/">all details here</a> ... you can continue to learn , play, explore and so much more .... to add to the fun and to remind us to review and continue to play Tim Holtz is offering a whole summer of Creative distress fun ...through summer of Creative Chemistry ...<br />
<br />
So for week one .. the challenge is to visit / re-visit ( if like me you have already taken 101 and 102 ) ..wrinkle free distress, blended distress, flick and spritz and brushless watercolour... and then to create a card or tag using at least four distress colours .............. so here is mine ....<br />
<br />
Also my little Lucy (age 6 ) watched the videos and had a go too and I will show her results at the end...I think she did really well.<br />
<br />
I went all browns ..but managed to add some blues too - using hickory smoke, chipped sapphire, ground espresso, rusty hinge and walnut stain...<br />
<br />

</center>
Well having been inspired to enter my first challenge over at <a href="http://www.vintagejourney.com/2016/05/sew-special.html">A Vintage Journey</a> , in a very long time...I decided to have another go ... and those of you who stop by here once in a while will know that I do love a neutral and monochrome palette ...<br />
so when I saw that the challenge over at <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=4800">Simon Says on Monday was monochrome</a> ...I decided to play along.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is my masculine make in monochrome...in yet another little shrine... I bought mine from <a href="http://www.countryviewcrafts.co.uk/dimensional-art-mdf-shrine-63840-p.asp">Country View Crafts here</a> ... so here goes:</div>

In order to make my gent , cut from one of Tim's gorgeous found relatives cards to stand proud of the background I added a couple of mini spools , painted to his back...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
To decorate the inside , I used a piece of paper from the dapper paper stack, again from Tim Holtz..some rub ons and some yummy idea-ology...</div>

</center>
Well better late than never, I'm late, I'm late for a very important date...well very nearly .... I have had this tag made for a few days and not found the time to blog it ...so as always this tag is inspired by the crafty master that is Tim Holtz and all the details for his gorgeous tag <a href="http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2016-may/">can be found here</a>....<br />
<br />
I have really gone off piste for this one , but as always it has been inspired by Tim's tag for this month and all the details for his tag <a href="http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2016-may/">can be found here</a> .... and here is mine :<br />

I have gone very much away from the colour scheme and gone for a more masculine feel ...my favourite brown tones and plenty of embellishments...along with some trusty rusty wire ...</div>

Well it has been a while and I cannot say that I have managed to make anything much of a finished nature .... but I have decided to have a bit more of a play with some of my DecoArt paints and some techniques from <a href="http://andyskinnerorg.blogspot.co.uk/">Andy Skinner</a> ..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
