Getting Inky with Tim Holtz

Hi there!  For the past couple of months, I’ve been taking a certification review course and last night was our final class.  Well, at least until we start up again in August.  It is such a good feeling to have it done.  And although I still have to keep studying until I take the exam in June, I now have some time back to hopefully put towards getting crafty.
 
And in anticipation of that extra time, I signed up for Tim Holtz’ “Creative Chemistry 101” class over at Online Card Classes.  Class started on Monday with Tim walking us through our first set of techniques yesterday.  I have to admit that I had/have some mixed feelings about the class – excitement mixed with some anxiety.  I’m not one who usually gets all inky and whatnot.  And we won’t mention my “need” for my artwork to look “perfect”.

But I am determined to keep an open mind and give it a try.  I had a little bit of time today, while waiting for my computer to run a battery check, and sat down to tackle the first three techniques.



Overall, I don’t think they turned out too bad.  I only have a handful of the Distress Inks, so I was kind of limited in my color combination.  But not to worry, I’ve got more on the way and thanks to Randy at Oozak, I should have them by the end of the week (Randy rocks when it comes to shipping – and he has good prices too).

Anyways…I now need to go watch today’s lesson.  So I’ll be back later this week to share more of what I learn.  Have a good night!
