Creative Play Series - Tim Holtz Distress Stains

I want to invite you to join me in my studio for some Creative Play. Our goal is to help each of us get past the PARALYSIS of PERFECTION and find a way to express ourselves through our art more FREELY.

This week we will use the tool of asking "What if....?"

Please visit my blog to learn how you can participate in this interactive series:

@vkiavian Hey Vkia...the tool is called the i-Top from Imaginisce. It is super cool...am going to be doing a tutorial on using it in the next week or so....so you might check back on my channel (if you aren't subscribed) - to see all the things that you can do with it...it is very versatile. I think they sell them at Michaels...or you could probably find one on a Canadian Ebay seller. Thanks for the suggestion about the chalk...I will see what I might be able to come up with!

Wow . Amazing how many different things you can do with the same products. Will have to get ahold of some distress stains and inks. Thanks for the inspiration to just create.

@tachar So glad that you found some inspiration for your own art! I hope you will share it with us - we are all learning together. I am really pleased with all the things that I found I could do with Distress Stains...am going to have to explore MORE with those. Have a great week!

Really did enjoy this. Saw the stains on Tim Holtz tutorial and you have really got me wanting some. Have to wait a bit but not long. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Would love to have copy of your pledge.

@boknstet Yeah Leslie! You challenge me to step out from my paralysis of perfection ALL the time...I love how you boldly start down a path and just keep working with it until it gets you the results you want! Love you too girl!
