Below is my entry for Studio L3 weekly challenge. I can't believe that this is technique #19. This week technique is Kraft Resist,  You can find the instructions for this technique inTim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities, Vol II, page 47.  The lucky winner will receive a box of goodies from Mario.

Technique #14 at Studio L 3 - Kraft Glassine and "Hey Girl Challenge at Simon Say Stamp and Show.  The instruction for this technique can be found on page 39 ofTim Holtz's Compendium of Curiositie Vol II.  I embossed the Kraft Glassine and then used alcohol ink to add color.  The dress form was embossed with distress embossing powder.

Simon Says is offering a $50.00 gift certificate to their on line store.  Studio L3 is sponsored this week by Funkie Junkie Boutique, which is offering a $25.00 gift certificate to their store.

Studio L3 Compendium of Curiosities  challenge this week is Configurations Boxes.  You can find some tips on making a box of you own in Tim Holtz, A Compendium of Curiosities II on pages 33 & 34.  I have not completed my box.  The back, sides and inside of the boxes are done.  I am still working on what I want in each individual box.

Week 8 of Linda's Studio L3 challenge.  This time we were to following the technique found on page 62 of Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities vol II. This challenge was called re purposed packaging.
I first embossed a piece of packaging material with cracked embossing folder.  I then used glue on the raised edges of the design.  I think this makes it look like it's raining?  The glue then created a resist on my tag.  So when I added my distressed ink, the glue resisted the ink.

I also used packaging material to cut out the fence, embossed it with wood grain, and then used alcohol ink to stain.  Also this week at Simon Says Stamp & Show, the challenge is to show some texture. The lucky winner will receive a $50.00 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp Store.  I got the idea of the glue from Kaz.
I have just noticed that the theme is the same as the challenge on Artful Times. So I am also entering here.

This week challenge for Studio Le, is Tissue Wrap Collage.  The instruction for this weeks directions can be found in Tim Holt'z Compendium of Curiosities II, page 38.  This week the The Funkie Junkie is sponsoring.  The lucky winner will receive a $25.00 gift certificate.

I have also submitted this tag for theSimon Says Stamp "Anything Goes Challenge".  The winner will receive a $50.00 gift voucher.

This weeks challenge at Studio L3 is again from Tim Hotlz Book Compendium of Curiosities II.  You can find the instructions on page 48, call shattered stains. This challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp World.

I decided to start Christmas projects early this year.  I am making an advent calendar for my grand kids.  I have to make each block twice.  I found that if you coat 140# water paper with glossy accents, it becomes bendable. Because of this, it should hold up.  I will stitch each block on to felt when I am done.   Each 6x6 block will be a pocket.  I may have to do this block over if I have the energy.  I used micro glaze to to make the distress stains permanent, however, there was some stain on the back of the reindeer.  So there is some smearing, but imperfection are part of art, right!
