Wanda created a card using Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stains, Oxide Sprays, and Distress Spritz combined with Translucent Texture Paste for her background. She used Creative Worship Vintage Ledger Page, Peaceful Botanicals and Vintage Nature Elements stamps and dies, and a Floating Circles Stencil. She finished with a strip of Tim Holtz Alchemy Fabric and Simon Says Stamp Summer Blooms Embellishment Mix.

Andrea made a journal spread in her Art by Marlene Creative Journal. She got lots of splattery goodness from Distress Oxide Sprays and added spots and dots using Seth Apter’s EM124 stamp. She added some Tim Holtz Red Collage Eclectic Elements fabric and patterned paper from 49th and Market’s Toddler Time collection.

Anna-Karin made an art journal page with pastel, summery colors. The Simon Says Stamp Stylized Butterfly was misted with Ranger Saltwater Taffy and Peacock Feathers Distress Spritz, as well as Mermaid Lagoon Distress Spray Stain. Some spritzing was done on the mixed media background too.

Barbara created the backgrounds of her tags with various Ranger Ink Distress Spray Stain in her favorite shades. She used some dies from the Sizzix Seth Apter collection for the focal point and the Splatters stencil in the mini version (set 3) from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous.

Cheiron created a card using the Tim Holtz Large A5 Entangled Embossing Folder. She covered the raised areas with Tumbled Glass Distress Embossing Glaze then sprayed with Distress Spray Stains and topped with tons of Distress Spritz for sparkle and shine. She created her sentiment using the letters from the Letterboard Side Order dies.

Kath spritzed Tim Holtz Distress Saltwater Taffy, Kitsch Flamingo and Lucky Clover Spray Stains through Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Flourish Mini Layering Stencil from Set 10 to create backgrounds, applied Distress Black Texture Paste through the Wildflower Mini Layering Stencil from the same set and added lots of splatter using Dina Wakley White and Black Gloss Sprays and Tim Holtz Distress Sugary Gumdrop Mica Stain.

Lols made a card using a My Favorite Things Frosty Beer Mug Die Set for the main focus. For the background she used Tim Holtz Splatters, Halftone and a Mini Set 5 Stencil Set along with Distress Inks, she then splattered with Rusty Hinge Distress Spritz.

Macarena went totally wild with building the background with Tim Holtz Distress Mica Stain Ranger several colors. She went even further and kept stamping in different colors Tim Holtz The Professor, Glitch 2 and Entomology stamps all over.

Maura created a mushroom themed canvas using Simple Stories Vintage Woodlands papers and stamps. She collaged the papers onto Stamperia’s Hidden Grove Mushroom Crafty Shapes, and added lots of spritz and splatter with mediums like Tim Holtz Harvest Moon Mica Stain.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Stamperia Sea Land 8×8 Paper on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz idea-ology INDUSTRIAL GEARS Embellishments and Tim Holtz idea-ology PAPER DOLLS PORTRAiTS.

Zoey used her favorite Distress Oxide Spray Ink to create her background – she then paired the colors with her Distress Spritz. To decorate she used Theories Chips and Metallic Droplets and Mummy Cloth for her wire flowers

So now it’s YOUR turn to get out your inks, paints and all things arty and start creating! We are looking forward to seeing what you make!
