Perfect Tags Day 9 Tim Holtz CC class

Today we worked with a product called Perfect Pearls. It’s a mica based powder that has different colors and metallic hues. I’ve had it for some time and used it a little bit but really had no idea what it could do.
When mixed with water and ink it becomes a spray mist for crafting. When it’s dry the powder because permanent. It can be used dry, wet, or a combination of both. I can see it rubbed on the high spots of a carved picture frame to give it an antique gilded look. Lots of possibilities.
Here are my 3 tags for today:

Creative Embossing

I have embossed a bit before. Never quite new what did what when you stamped an embossing ink vs colored inks. Once again this class has given me a light bulb moment. We learned that all embossing powders are not the same even if they don’t specify it on the label, and that what you stamp on makes as much difference as what embossing powder you use.
I love the look of embossing. We used a batik technique, a rusted enameled look, and we used Tim’s Distress Embossing powder too.

I messed up the first technique by stamping with clear embossing ink instead of colored ink. It came out really neat. The one on the left is clear and the color is on the right.
The tags on the bottom are the 3 different techniques we learned : Nostalgic Batik, Rusted Enamel, and Distress Powder. I did add the spray and flick technique to my rusted enamel tag, it just had to have it.. lol

I didn't get a chance to work on my Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry Class until last night for day 6 and 7.
I had a limited set of Distress Markers for the Day 6 that used markers in wet, dry, and stamped form. I had black  and white... So I took a chance and stamped my image in indigo blue ink that was supposed to be waterproof. It's not a Ranger product and it wasn't waterproof. But it did show the black and white markers off in a really neat way. A little of the blue ink blended with the techniques and gave it a really neat quality. That's what this class is all about isn't it! Showing your unique approach to standard techniques.
Here are my Marker tags from Day 6
