Creative Chemistry Day 5

[mpizzazz]

Oops, Monica is too busy working and cleaning for the nieces' visit to post a topic for today.
I hope lots of people get caught up on the classes over the weekend and post lots of samples.

Here are the ones I did today.
tag 1-I found the resist paper started to break down and get fuzzy if you had to rub the Stain dabbers too hard. I guess getting them flowing on some scrap paper would be a good idea. I happened to have that dress pattern stamp so decided to use it on the same resist paper.
Tag 2-I don't have the Picket Fence Stain so I used some thick reinker from Ranger that is for Antiquities pads which must be something they made long ago. I just painted it on the stamp and pressed it on the tag. I could still rub it away with water like Tim did.
Tag 3-I have no variety of Stain colors so I dripped reinkers and the thick white ink on the craft mat, sprayed with water on the tag and mat and slapped it on there. Very similar effect to his. I happen to have the stamp set he used so I used it for the sheer novelty of having the same set he used.

Beautiful tags! Yep, too busy today to create a new topic; thank you for getting it started. This is the first chance I've had since early this morning to even get online, and I'm going to bed shortly. Girls get up much earlier than I usually do on the weekends!!

Wow, those are pretty! I'm so far behind. I just watched day 2 today and did not get to play. I lost 2 days to the snow and now we're packing to head back for Arizona, then we've got the youn'un turning 21 on Wednesday and we're spending time with him at a big SCA event plus I have a quilt retreat thrown in there. And then, I can't believe I'm saying this, we're going to turn around and come back to Oregon to continue working on the things we were working on when the snow hit. We're nuts!

I like them all but tag #2 is
my favorite, I really like that you were
able to improvise to get the same effect

Really pretty Marianne!
I'm not a fan of his Kraft resist paper but I do a fair amount of embossing. It was interesting to see how the Distress Stain worked with it. (I do realize the difference between embossing and varnish, too.)
Last evening I read through a lot of the questions other people posted. Wow. I could never be a teacher.
My coworkers watched him do tag #3. They were completely blown away. It's one of my favorites (and I have that set, too).

When my DD was talking about being a teacher
I asked her if she could tolerate being stupid from the kids
She said I'm like you Mom "I don't do stupid nor do I tolerate it"
I think I'd have to some one after the second stupid question.

I got carried away before

I love these tags!
I'm watching but haven't did anything yet.

I don't have his kraft resist paper, so I'll have to make my own. I love the look of these tags.

Here are my tags for Day 5....

Great looking tags ladies.

[ChristyB]

the middle of both sets are my favorites.

Great job ladies

[mpizzazz]

Great job, Monica!

[Monica]

Thank you. The middle one is my favorite, too, Christy. That one is actually my second attempt; I used lighter colors for the first one. It didn't show off the technique as much as I wanted for a sample, so I'm using it for a bookmark. I'll post a picture and share later...

very pretty

I love the distress stains over kraft resist! Don't know why I haven't done that before. I also really like the white paint stamping over distress; heck, I just really love Distress Stains, period!
