Compendium of Curiosities Challenge #33

Altered Metal Alcohol Inks

not much time....hope it makes it! lol

Will add info after I enter it if the pics ever load! whew! made it!

Ok, now let's do this right. This is my entry into the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge #33, which the lovely Linda is hosting at Studio L3.

Altered Metal Alcohol Inks. This is on page 56 in the Tim Holtz book Compendium of Curiosities (buy here).

This was a really quick, awesome and easy technique and I loved it.

I used Stream and Stonewashed on Tims metal numerals. Placed these inside a card and cut out a window and viola! the perfect birthday card for a teenage boy!

Inking and Stamping Masks

We are on Challenge number 31 on the blog of the Lovely Linda, Studio L3, and since today is a really rough day, this is a quick and simple card and post.

This is from Tim Holtz book "Compendium of Curiosities" page 59. (buy it here)

Stamped this car then masked then inked with pretty much all my DIs lol. Peeled paint stickles around the outside for bling and a bit of twine for dimension - and there ya have it.

Rusted Enamel

This technique can be found on page 41 of the Tim Holtz book "Compendium of Curiosities" (buy it here).





and away we go....we are on Challenge number 31 on the blog of the Lovely Linda, Studio L3, ...I still find that hard to believe. It's been a lot of fun and has forced me to stretch my crafting ingenuity. It's not over yet tho, so lets see what I did this time.

I made a card for a friend using this technique.

Used Milled Lavendar DI, with Antique photo, one of Tims tickets, he didn't have one that said what I wanted so I painted over the word with white paint and hand wrote it, and a piece of his paper. Then there is the rosette made with his die, but scrap paper from my stash. The silver center is actually a bead/button my hubs found one day on his walk. Made the wire holder. Yarn from my stash and there ya have it. Tada!!!!

Compendium of Curiosities Challenge #30


Ok, here we are again - back with another wonderful technique challenge from Studio L3. Now, open your Compendium of Curiosities to page 48 - Altered Metal with Paint. You can purchase your very own copy of this wonderous Tim Holtz book here.

Now, I have already instructed the hubby to NOT look at this blog today, or face the dire consequences - he promised. I have it in writing! lol (but to be on the safe side, I will post the picture below.)




As you can see I used Tims word sticks and philosophy tags as well as Fired Brick DI, some of his stamps and a trinket pin.


Believe it or not that glitter you see came out of a years old nail painting kit....very very fine glitter, works great!! Some papers and yarn from my stash and there you have it.



I am thinking about entering this into a few other challenges, but I have to go find them first. lol

Thank you to all the wonderful people who make this happen, it's so much fun and I am learning loads too!
