Technique 5: Shattered Stains
Tim Holtz's A Compendium of Curiosities, Volume 2, page 48
Sponsored by Simon Says Stamp
Hooray! I got to play with the brand new Spring Seasonal Distress Inks!
Friday!!! Oh, how I love that word. It's a beautiful day in our world-wide neighborhood, and I hope you enjoy it to the fullest. You guys did such an incredible job on the Faded Layers Challenge last week, and now it's time for the next technique from Tim Holz's awesome new book, A Compendium of Curiosities, Vol. II. Yay!
If you took Tim's online Creative Chemistry 101 class, you'll remember how much everyone loved the Shattered Stains technique. It's so simple, but the results can be pretty mind-blowing! I'm so excited to see what you all do with this challenge. Turn to page 48 in the CC2 for the lowdown...
It's the second Friday of the month, and that means my sweet friends at Simon Says Stamp will be giving an awesome $25 gift certificate to one lucky, randomly-selected participant in this week's challenge!

Ready? Bring on the art, my friends! Have a fantastic week, and I'll look forward to admiring your Shattered Stains masterpieces.
Hugs,
Linda
P.S. If you don't have them on hand, you'll want to get some Tissue Wrap (either pattern), an Idea-ology Pocket Watch and some Core'dinations paper to add to your stash for upcoming challenges (not necessarily in that order). Also, start thinking about getting yourself a shiny, new Configurations box-- any size you like. I'll try to let you guys know in plenty of time when a challenge is coming up that requires a specific product beyond the standard Tim Holtz stash items.
