Joining the Compendium of Curiosities
Tim Holtz's latest book, Compendium of Curiosities Volume II, is the starting point for Linda Ledbetter's latest challenge series of the same name. Sponsor for this week is Eclectic Paperie. Although this is Challenge #3, I'm joining in for the first time. Marbled Stains (p. 46 in the book) is one of the Tim-techniques in the recent "Creative Chemistry 101" course. I struggled with the technique then, and I did again today, but after three throwaway tags, I think I figured out my problem. Of course, Tim makes everything look easy. ;-) Both my tag and Umbrella Man were treated to the Marbled Stains technique, but I also spritzed the tag with Perfect Pearls Mist in Antique Gold after embossing it in a texture fade.

Amazing! This is just beautiful!
Hello Evelyn
I am pleased you persevered with this Technique, as this result you have achieved on the Tag is wonderful. The embossing has the effect of him walking into a tunnel from the rain, it is great.
Smiles:)

By Joe... I think you've got it!!! Seems like something he might say!
Gorgeous tag Evelyn. I still haven't gotten Tim's new book. I seem to be missing out on a lot of great techniques!

You sure can't tell you struggled - this is beautiful! Love the way you used the umbrella man die. Very cool tag!
Your tag looks wonderful, fantastic.
Now this is just way too cool, love it. Barb
That is gorgeous, how did you do that background?
Evelyn, it's great to see you!!! Holy cow, this tag is sensational! Your marbled stains are just perfect, and the design with the embossed rays and Umbrella Man is utterly magical. I'm so glad you joined in!!!
Success & it's fabulous!
This was one I had problems with in CC101 as well! I got it down this time..and now I really like the effect; very close to the old acrylic paint in shaving cream effect!Your tag is beatiful..I love the texture effect, finished it so nicely!
