I was very happy when Linda from Studio L3 announced that she was to host a Compendium Of Curiosities Volume 3 Challenge. It provides an exciting opportunity to get to know the new products and techniques showcased in Tim's great book. This year, Linda has recruited some fantastic artists to inspire and help us on our way as we work through the book. The challenges are held fotrnightly and there are some brilliant prizes from Tim and Mario and fabulous sponsorship of alternate challenges, by The Funkie Junkie Boutique and Inspiration Emporium.
The first challenge is all about 'Paint Marbling' with Distress Paints. The Instructions for this technique can be found on page 43 of CC3. I got so carried away with this technique that I ended up with several lovely backgrounds which no doubt will be cropping up in future projects. I used one of them to make this 'thank you' card for my friends at work, who treated me to some theatre vouchers and beautiful flowers for my birthday. I used another of the backgrounds to make this card for my husband's birthday....
So I suggest you grab your copy of CC3, head over to Linda's blog and get involved, it's great fun ! x
