CC 102 Week 1 & 2 Creative Challenges

For week 1 of Creative Chemistry 102

 our challenge was to create a project using 3 or more colors of Distress Paint.

I applied Spun Sugar Distress Paint onto my tag through a stencil and then dotted other colors around my tag randomly.  I also stamped my truck in Chipped Sapphire Distress Paint.  I stamped the 'Howdy!' in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  As I wiped on the Distress Inks the image from the stencil really popped out.  I really like how it goes through the truck.

For Week 2 of Creative Chemistry 102 

the challenge was to create a tag using two or more stencil techniques.

On this tag I used the new Tim Holtz set I found at Michael's.  It contains a stencil and stamps.  First I applied distress paint through various arrows on the stencil.  After that dried I reapplied the stencil and stamped on the text.  Next I ground in ink through the words using a blending tool.  Next I stamped the images onto the tag.  Then I applied various colors of green and brown inks to the tag to  create a background and tone down the other elements a bit.
