Today’s workdesk finds me in the middle of day four of Tim Holtz’s 12 Tags of Christmas<\/a>. \u00a0 I mentioned in another post I’ve found it incredibly freeing to have the mindset that I’m not trying to make\u00a0copies<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>of what Tim has done, but just use his techniques and do my own thing.<\/p>\n

It’s also been a lot easier on my wallet as I don’t feel like I have to run out and buy the exact same supplies Tim is using. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I’m actually working on two different projects based on the day four techniques. \u00a0The little snowflakes on the right (sorry ’bout the white on white, I know you can’t see them well – I’ll put up better pics once the project is done) have been painted with the Pearl Metallic Paint Dabber<\/a> and then coated quite thickly with Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint<\/a>. \u00a0I did this before going to bed and left them to dry overnight. \u00a0This morning I found they’d crackled so much that some of the paint had lifted off. \u00a0Huh.<\/p>\n

We’ll see how they come out after I brush off the paint flakes, re-dab with Pearl and add another (not quite so thick) coat of Rock Candy.<\/p>\n

On the left and middle are the beginnings of a scrapbook layout. \u00a0What will be the center panels (the yellowish papers) were done with Tim’s directions for applying Picket Fence Distress Stain<\/a> and other distress stains to the craft sheet, wetting your paper, then swirling it through the colors on the craft sheet. \u00a0It gives a very cool, chalky effect.<\/p>\n

All day yesterday was spent doing errands, the only major thing on my agenda today is to make turkey soup, so hopefully I’ll have time to play later on.<\/p>\n

Oh, and if you’re wondering why in the world someone would post a pic of their messy workdesk, then you must not know about What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday<\/a>. \u00a0Check it out, it’s loads of fun and inspiration!<\/p>\n
