Tim's Discovering Distress Class

I wanted to share with you what we made with Tim Holtz on Friday at his Discovering Distress class at Adventures in Stamping. We made the following 4 tags:



This tag shows how deep his new texture folders will emboss.


This tag used perfect pearls, masking and his new butterfly Sizzix Die - each wing is separate so that you can decide how you want your butterfly to take flight.

This tag showcased his Distress embossing powders. The corners are embossed and then inked over top - the Distress embossing powder resists the ink.

The close up of the flowers shows how Distress embossing gives a beautiful texture to the metal flowers.

This tag features coloring and stamping on photos - per Tim - this is his Yard Sale Cousin. The photo is colored with distress inks with a nib and then stamped. Next is a close up - the dress is really pink but it's not coming across in the photo well.

We had a great time in the class. There were five of us together - so a shout of out to Ro and Krust (we are huge Tim fans) and to our Tim Class Virgins - Diana and Jodi (they too are now big Tim fanatics)!

Come back tomorrow for more class information!
