and woohoo I got the new Distress Crayon colours being launched at CHA...
and
Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz Etcetera Large Thick Board Tag 14.1/4" x 8.1/4"
Distress Media Heavystock Card and Tags
Distress Collage Medium Matte
Set of Distress Collage Brushes
I immediately fell in love with the vintage tones of Set 10...
Iced Spruce/Aged Mahogany/Wild Honey/Tea Dye/ Forest Moss and Gathered Twigs

and the Etcetera Thick Board Tag which comes in 3 sizes...what a fabulous surface to work on...
and here's how I used the products to decorate my tag...
using Ranger Texture Paste...Harlequin Layering Stencil and Collage Medium Matte
Sizzix BigZ Butterfly Duo and Texture Fade...
and Sizzix Wildflowers Thinlits...
I die cut the Wildflowers and Butterflies from the Distress Mixed Media Heavystock Card and oh boy does this card love Distress Crayons...they go on like butter and blend beautifully...
and thankfully it made it's way safely across the pond to Phoenix Arizona...
ready for showtime...you can see how the other Designer Challenge artists...including my lovely buddies Emma...Kaz...Zoe and Kassa decorated their tags...time to feast your eyes on the magic of Distress.
If like me you've been glued to the computer for days following Tim's Facebook Live feeds you'll know that things are about to become a whole lot more magical with the addition of Distress Oxides to the line...woohoo I can't wait to play but first I'll be hitting the cubbyhole running in an effort to play catch-up...back to the daily 9-5...back to the here and now.

A gorgeous tag Kath. many congratulations you should feel so proud to be "up there with the greats!" The new oxides look like being a areal game changer, I can't wait to play with them x
ReplyDeleteWonderful tag Kath and it looks fabulous displayed with the others.
ReplyDeleteThe oxides look interesting but I have some more crayons on my wishlist to get hold of first.

That's stunning, Kath. I'm not surprised that you had to pick yourself up from the floor when you were asked to submit something for the show...and what a fantastic 'something' you created! There are so many products in the range now that my head is spinning. I'm on a very limited budget and so far have around 27 distress ink pads. For someone in my position what would you suggest I really need to get before I try to complete my ink pad collection?
