Re: Is anyone doing the Distress Challenge?
I agree--the birdhouse rocks!
I entered the challenge as well; I had just sent in my Creative Chaos swap tags, and this one was my experimental first one. It uses Distress Ink in four ways...
1. Scattered Straw and Spiced Marmalade pressed on a craft mat, spritzed with water, and tag dipped in, dried, and re-dipped
2. edges rubbed with Barn Door using an inking tool
3. edges distressed and direct-to-paper inked with Black Soot
4. mixed with Perfect Pearls and spritzed on flowers using Spiced Marmalade/Copper, Black Soot/Pewter, Scattered Straw/Gold
There are some other Tim things to note: centers of the little silver flowers are Sepia Accents blobs hardened on a craft mat and sprinkled with Perfect Pearls as they dried, flowers are cut with his new die, there is a little pin on the ribbon, I embossed the black piece with one of his new folders, and die cut it with one of the label dies, I used a journaling ticket, and stamped with a clear TH stamp.

Oh boy Ink Pattie, this tag has it all! Fantastically grunged and distressed!!
Re: Is anyone doing the Distress Challenge?
Both of these projects are gorgeous!
Did anyone check out the winners? Holy cow!

Re: Is anyone doing the Distress Challenge?
The winners are awesome! I'll bet Julie's was in the top 25. It looks like he chose things that we don't usually see him do with Distress Inks. Lots of scrapbook pages instead of just tags. Julie's is "out of the box". I wish he would post photos of the top 25...

Love your tag, I-P!!

Re: Is anyone doing the Distress Challenge?
Beautiful tag Pattie...I was surprised by the winners...but wasn't it a random drawing?
Re: Is anyone doing the Distress Challenge?
He said he picked the top 25, then randomly picked the winners from those. So Julie may have been in the top 25...
Re: Is anyone doing the Distress Challenge?
Yep, I went back and re-read his post. I would love to see the top 25...some really wonderful work there.
