Doorway Journal Cover - Tim’s Compendium III Challenge #5

So here is my 5th Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities Volume III challenge entry. The challenge is hosted by L3 Studios, learn more about the "CC3C" challenge here. To play along you need the book for the technique. Below is my challenge element - 39. Distressed Watercoloring - Part 1. This was my first time doing this technique and it was lots of fun!  The doorway stamp and quote are from Club Stamp.

Here is a list of supplies used:

• Composition Notebook
• Hero Arts black ink
• Club Scrap Doorway Stamp
• 140 lb Mixed Media Paper
• Distress Markers
• Club Scrap Quote Stamp

Thankful for the Rain - Tim’s Compendium III Challenge #4

So here is my 4th Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities Volume III challenge. The challenge is hosted by L3 Studios, learn more about the "CC3C" challenge here. To play along you need the book for the technique. Below is my entry for the challenge - 49. Layering Stencil: Texture Paste. I love the way the inks absorbed and flowed around the embossing paste.

 

My project for this time started with a Prima Paper Doll Stamp and my new Peerless watercolor paints used to color in the stamp.  After that I spent a long time looking at the page before I came up with a design to frame her.  I wanted to use flowers, so after finding the quote, "Give Thanks for the rain in your life, which waters the flowers of your soul - Jonathan Lockwood Huie," I went for the grey rainy background.  

Here is a list of supplies used:

• Hero Arts black ink
• Prima Paper Doll Stamp
• Peerless Watercolors
• Masking fluid
• Light Molding Paste
• Cubist Stencil
• Lindy Stamp Gang Starburst sprays
• Sizzix Alternations -Tattered Flower Garland 
• Marion Smith Flower Tool
• Martha Stewart Hydrangea Punch
• Pearls
• Distress Markers

“Be” Note Board for Tim’s Compendium III Challenge #3

I recently went to a scrapbook retreat with 15 of my craftiest girlfriends.  This was the perfect time to try out a new technique, better yet a Tim Holtz technique.  So here is my 3^rd Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities Volume III challenge.  The challenge is hosted by L3 Studios, learn more about the "CC3C" challenge here. To play along you need the book for the technique. Below is my entry week 3 of the challenge - 65. Faux Tea Roses.  

The organizer, Rebeca, generously gave us each a plain white IKEA wet erase memo board to decorate. This is the perfect project for adding those Tim's beautiful dimensional tea roses.  I was also able to use my new Stampers Autonomous classic stamp #5.  And since it is not done until the back is finished…..

Here is a list of supplies used:

• Stampin Up bee stamp and die “Back Yard Basics”
• Distress ink – Frayed Burlap
• Club Scrap Geometrics collection paper and ribbon
• Club Scrap Serenity stamp and Club Scrap Fuchsia and Lagoon Hybrid Inks
• Simon Says Stamps – Expressions of “be” stamp set and die
• Lindy Stamp Gang Starburst spay – Magnolia Magenta Gold

All the final note board were wonderful

Tim's Compendium III Challenge No. 1

I love all things Distress, so I was very exited to get my hands on Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities Volume III.  Unfortunately as often happens I read it eagerly, but I did not actually dig into trying the techniques.  So I was very happy when Studio L3 started a Compendium of Curiosities Volume III biweekly challenge. Below is my entry week 1 of the challenge - 43. Paint Marbling.  You need the book for the technique.  To learn more about the "CC3C" challenge here.

I went a little overboard with this project so it has taken me about 12 days to complete.  Now here I am posting near the end of the challenge entry period.  It was so much fun to add layer upon layer.  Below is my sample of the technique panel with a detailed picture of the finished projection.

I've mostly used my Club Scrap materials in addition to the Distress products of course.  Here is a list of supplies used to the best of my recollect:

• Burlap panel
• Distress paint
• Distress ink
• Lindy Stamp Gang embossing power, star-burst spays, and magical micas
• Club Scrap Bugs and Fire & Ice collections stamps and hybrid ink
• Club Scrap Hematite embossing powered
• Club Scrap Bugs and Get the Picture card stock and ribbon
• Club Scrap Key and Ribbons
• Petaloo and Prima Flowers
