Creative Chemistry 102: Shabby Chic
Today in Creative Chemistry we made Shabby Chic with Distress. We embossed a pattern with Distress Embossing Ink on a black, Distress painted piece ( I made mine out of grungeboard), painted over it with a light color of Distress Paint and then rubbed off some of the paint to show the pattern. Pretty cool!
Pretty cool!

Creative Chemistry 102: Paint Monoprint
Today’s Creative Chemistry 102, had us apply a selection of colors of Distress Paint to a stencil. After misting the paint on the stencil with water to blend the paint, we put the stencil on the tag and pressed down to transfer the paint to the tag. We removed the stencil and then dried the paint with some heat. Last, I applied some Distress Ink and a little more water to pull everything together.
I love how the inks blend, the paints blend and how they complement each other.
Can’t wait to get back in the studio!

Creative Chemistry 102: Mixed-Media Layering
Today in Creative Chemistry 102 series in the Online Card Classes we got to start playing with layering stencils. We used several stencils (can you pick out how many different images?) and everything from Distress Paint to Distress Ink to and inky concoction we learned to make in a mini-mister in 101.
This was a lot of fun to put together!

Creative Chemistry 102: Industrial
I could hardly wait to do this project when I saw it coming up in the Creative Chemistry 102 series in the Online Card Classes. It is amazing to me what you can do with some foil, an embossing folder and some Distress Paint!
Imagine the art this could be part of!

Creative Chemistry 102: Stamping Resist
Today’s project from the Creative Chemistry 102 series in the Online Card Classes involved stamping with paint. Instead of using the Sticky Back Canvas we used in 101, we stamped the Distress Paint directly on the manila tag. Making sure it was dry, we then applied various colors of Distress Ink over the image. Distress Stain will work too. Finally, we sprayed a bit of water over everything, wiped it and the painted image appeared.
Love it!

Creative Chemistry 102: Eroded Metallic
Of course there would have to be Metallic paint in the Creative Chemistry 102 series in Online Card Classes. We painted a tag with various colors of Distress Paint and then added some Distress Ink. After it was completely dry we added Distress Antique Bronze Metallic, water and heat.
I love making metal paper!

Creative Chemistry 102: Altered Surface Technique
More fun with paint in the Creative Chemistry 102 series in Online Card Classes! We painted a non-porous surface with Distress Paint and dried it, but not completely. Wiped it. Repeated this process with a different layer of color.
I love the weathered look of the bright colors.
Thinking about what I can “distress” around the house,

Creative Chemistry 102: Colored Crackle
Similar to a project we did in the Creative Chemistry 101 series in Online Card Classes, we used the amazing Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint but instead of staining it we colored it. I cut some leaf shapes using Grungeboard (you can also use chipboard) and put a thick layer of the crackle paint on the leaves allowing them to dry overnight to achieve the best crackle. I then used Distress Paint over the leaves, heated them dry, and repeated with additional an additional layer of color. I heated that to dry and then added some Distress Stain to really bring out the crackle. I then dried them again and adhered them to a tag that I inked with Distress.
Unlike the previous project where we stained over the crackle only to create a glass-like surface, this had a matte finish.
