Terry made a Pyramid Box; a little box to give away....she used the Distress Technique and Emboss Technique from Tim Holtz. The butterflies are from Wendy Vecchi. Distress inks that are used are Milled Lavender, Faded Jeans and Dusty Concord. To emboss the butterflies she used the Copper Embossing Powder. The borders are worked on with Vintage Photo.
hhhmmmmm.....a Tim Holtz technique....for inspiration Lynne pulled out her "A Compendium of Curiosities"!! The technique she chose was Dabber Resist with a twist.....she used Distress Embossing Ink and UTEE instead of a paint dabber on the backside of a sheet from Paper Stash. Once the tag was throughly inked, she then misted the entire tag with "Pearl Water" a Mini Mister filled with lots of Perfect Pearls and water. She then dried the tag using her Heat it Tool!! ohhhh....to tear up the edges, she used her Distrezz it All.

Having just returned from three weeks in Asia, Candy's Faux Batik piece definitely has an Asian influence. Using mulberry paper, Perfect Medium, Clear Embossing Powder and a combination of Color Washes, Candy created a beautiful faux batik background for her 5x7 canvas.

Nancy was definitely thinking of the *dog days of summer* when she began this project with #8 manilla tags embossed with one of the folders from Playing Games. Adding Wild Honey Distress Ink, the tag was finished off with an image from Graphic 45's On The Boardwalk captured under a fragment painted with caramel alcohol ink.
Sarah Engels-Greer
Calling all Gals with attitude! Who says flowers have to be girly? An ode to Tim techniques had to include some grunge so Sarah created a double layered embossed Cuff. She used Grungeboard, Grungepaper, Distress Inks, idea-ology and the Tattered Florals die. She customized her cuff using salvaged jewelry parts and eyelets.
Linda Coughlin For her Tim Holtz technique, Linda chose to make a friendship wall hanging with the Grungepaper flowers technique (pg. 65 Compendium of Curiosities) and used the same technique on the Hardware Findings. The flowers were cut with the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die and the leaves were cut from canvas with the Tattered Leaves die. The letters were cut with the Vintage Market letters die.
Dan chose to use the Wrinkle Free Distress technique from page 33 of Tim's Compendium of Curiosities as a background for the panels on his card. Additional products he used included the Rock Star and World Traveler stamp sets, Film Strip Ribbon and the mat was cut from Tim's Seasonal Paper Stash.
I decided to open my Compendium of Curiosities at random and do whichever technique I landed on. Alcohol Ink Splatter on Page 52 it was. To create my card I used Alcohol Inks Brights ... Simon Says Stamp do a great deal on the Brights set in one go by the way. I also used Ranger Glossy Card and a Jet Black Archival. The stamps are Tim's Fairytale Frenzy.
