Something New For Stampotique

It's the lovely Kaz's turn to host our playdate today over at the Stampotique Designers Challenge, and she wants to have a nosey at our stash, and see if we got anything new for Christmas. Well as I chose my own present this year, the answer was yes :-)

When the Tim Holtz Distress Paints first came out I avoided them. I didn't want them, didn't need them, and most of all didn't want to get sucked into yet another 'can't live without' product. Then I went on a Ranger technique course run by Kaz Hall and she used these and I must admit I did fall for them a little, so thank you very much Santa for bringing me some.
I won't bore you with the details of how these are done, 'cos most of you will already know, and if not the techniques are in Tim's book and I'm sure his Creative Chemistry courses (which I really must sign up for). 

For this one I've used Oh... Tree
Row of Numbers
Crow Line
and French Text

This one is using
Journey Collage
and A Heart

And finally Medium Bee
and Beauty Verse

So now I have two pages done of my tag book. I'm still loving the first one with 
Rootie Toot
Henny Penny
Superhero
Superhero Text
Cat Family
Dog Family

This was a great challenge Kaz, thank you.
