Try It Out Thursday # 3

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

Long time no Try It Out Thursday :) There was a dilemma that begun on my Friday Fun post # 30 about stamping those Altenew stamps in Distress ink. As you probably know Distress ink is not really made for stamping (unless you want a splotchy look). Maja commented about not having enough shades of ink to stamp layering kind of stamps. So today I experimented with that in mind. 

Že dolgo ni bilo nobene Try It Out Thursday objave :) Na moj objavi Friday Fun številka 30 se je pojavila ena zanimiva dilema. Ali je mogoče te Altenew štampiljke odtisniti z Distress blazinicami. Verjetno vam je znano, da Distress blazinice niso ravno idealne za odtise, če ni vaš cilj neenakomeren in pikast odtis. Maja je pustila komentar, da nima dovolj različnih odtenkov blazinic, da bi lahko ustvarjala s temi štampiljkami, tako da sem se odločila preizkusiti ta dva izdelka skupaj. 

I used Spiced marmalade as my base colour, Ripe persimmon for my shades, Memento Tuxedo black for the outline and Twisted citron for the leaves (super nice green colour btw). They all worked perfectly! No splotchines, no spotting, just a great stamped image. It's probably because of the quality of Altenew stamps but this is great news even for me. I have quite a few beautiful Distress inks that need some love :)  

Uporabila sem Spiced marmelade za osnovno barvo, senčila sem z Ripe persimmon, obroba je bila odtisnjena z Memento Tuxedo black blazinico, listi pa so odtisnjeni s Twisted citron (mimogrede, čudovita zelena barva). Vsi poskusi so za seboj pustili perfekten odtis. Nobenih lis, pik, samo popoln odtis. Najverjetneje je za to kriva izjemna kakovost Altenew blazinic. To je pravzaprav odlična novica tudi zame. Imam kar nekaj čudovitih Distress blazinic, ki potrebujejo nekaj dodatne ljubezni :)

I hope you found this helpful and thank you for coming over!

Upam, da je moje "odkritje" dobra novica tudi za vas in hvala lepa za obisk!

Try It Out Thursday # 2

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni!

There was no Try It Out Thursday for some time, but I'm back with another experiment. I bought Ranger Sticky embossing powder to try and use it instead of Flitter glue by IndigoBlu for the Metallic Flakes. I used Flitter glue before and it's a bit messy and my stamps were sticky even after I cleaned them like you are supposed to. Sticky embossing powder sounds much easier so I tried it.

Že nekaj časa ni bili takšne objave v četrtek, ampak danes sem nazaj z manjšim eksperimentom. Kupila sem Ranger Sticky embosirni prah da bi ga uporabila namesto Flitter lepila, ki ga je IndigoBlu predvideval za uporabo z metalnimi lističi. Delo s tem lepilom se mi je zdelo malce preveč "lepljivo", saj so bile štampiljke lepljive še nekaj časa, čeprav sem jih očistila tako, kot je rečeno v navodilih. Lepljiv embosirni prah se mi je zdel malce manj zapleten, tako da sem želela poskusiti. 

 

I used Versamark and Sticky embossing powder like any other but when I heated it up it got sticky. I pressed the flakes on top of that and the rub it away with the sponge. The flakes are still a bit messy, but they stuck on top of the image. 

Prah sem uporabila tako kot vsak drug embosirni prah z Versamark blazinico. Ko sem ga segrela se je spremenil v lepljiv odtis na katerega sem pritisnila metalne lističe. Vse skupaj sem dobro zdrgnila z gobico, ki je namenjena temu. Lisiči so še vedno precej nadležni, saj je na koncu njihov prah povsod, ampak končni rezultat je vseeno zelo lep, tako da se splača. 

My thoughts? Sticky is convenient as far as cleaning your stamp goes and al the stickiness left behind, but I think that Flitter glue captures more detail and the surface is a bit uneven. Flakes still sparkle beautifully so I think it's a good alternative. I can't wait to try this with glitter.

Moje mnenje? Sticky prah je zelo priročen kar se tiče čiščenja štampiljk in ukvarjanja z lepljivimi pripomočki, je pa res, da Flitter lepilo ohrani več podrobnosti odtisa, površina odtisa pa je precej bolj gladka kot pri uporabi prahu. Lističi se še vedno zelo lepo bleščijo, tako da mislim, da je Sticky embosirni prah vseeno super alternativa lepilu. Preizkusiti ga bo potrebno še z bleščicami. 

Thank you for coming over and have a great day.

Hvala za obisk in želim vam čudovit dan.

Try it out Thursday # 1

Hello everyone!

Lepo pozdravljeni! 

I'm starting with another addition to my blog - Try it out Thursday. Every last Thursday in month I will try out something new. Today I tried new technique in water colouring that is called background wash. Or at least that is how Dawn (from Wplus9) called it. I saw this video and wanted to try it. This card is what I came up with. I used IndigoBlu stamp and embossed it and then I coloured it with my watercolours (a cheep 24 set of them). Sentiment (Thank you) is die cut with Najlepši par's die and I glued a piece of black cardstock behind it. 

Danes začenjam z novim dodatkom k objavam na blogu in sicer Try it out Thursday, kjer bom vsak zadnji četrtek v mesecu poskusila nekaj novega. Za danes sem preizkusila tehniko, ki jo je v tem videu predstavila Dawn (ustanoviteljica Wplus9 linije). Tako je nastala današnja voščilnica. Uporabila sem IndigoBlu štampiljko in jo embosirala, nato pa preko odtisa nanašala akvarelne barve (poceni set 24ih šolskih vodenk). Voščilo sem izrezala in za njim prilepila kos črnega kartona.

Hope you like this new addition. Thank you for coming over and have a wonderful day! 

Upam, da vam je nov dodatek všeč. Hvala za obisk in čudovit dan vam želim!
