Gilding Flakes and Stazon 

Sorry about that! I appreciate the feed back. I didn't even notice I was out of the shot!

Yes extremely annoying !

But still a wonderful video ❤

Thanks for the feedback. I have just finished a retaping of the technique. Hopefully, it is better for you. Here is the link for it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k8jIIjkfMX0.html

@@corinnenikish5662 If you edit your videos before you upload them you will see what we see.

I'll have to give that a try!

Using you finger to press down and burnish as well. Use the brush as a finishing touch to brush off residue.

Thank you! You too!

Thanks so much!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

You are so welcome!

Thanks! Let me know if you try it.

Thanks!

Thank you so much!

Working on correcting my camera angles! 😳

You're very welcome! Have fun!!

And it's a huge tool! When I cut mine up, I made 4 'scoochies' and still have some to clean my stamps with!

I have filmed a newer video that has everything in the frame a bit better. Here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k8jIIjkfMX0.html Hope you enjoy it!

I do still get a bit of stick on them..I go over it with my embossing buddy and kind of ‘buff/rub’ it in. But I do still sometimes end up with them a bit tacky. I find it also helps to use the bigger pieces of gilding flake..the more of the ‘leftover bits’ I use the more tack is left. Sorry I can’t help more. 😳

@@corinnenikish5662 great tip for using bigger pieces. Thank you

Some flakes are treated to be sticky for ease of use, I found using a light spray of Artist's Fixative works great, just be sure it is very dry before you emboss The Fixative will not affect the stazon ink. This spray works great for fixing chalk & water color cards as well, cards are handled more than fine art and benefit from a bit of fixative.

@@Stampinologywhat is the name of the fixative? That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing it. I’ve only ever used hair spray as a fixative.

Thanks so much!! I’m so glad you liked it!

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I can't change this video, however I have recently released a 'Stazon and gilding flakes...take 2 video. In that one I have made more of an effort to be in frame.

Do you mean using a mouse pad as the ‘schoochie’ tool? What a great idea!! Thanks!

@@corinnenikish5662 yes, that is what I meant.

Have fun!

Noted! I've been working on my camera angles. Still a work in progress. But I'm glad you got the gist of what I was doing.

Glad you like them!

The sponge part of the 'scoochie' certainly feels like a sponge brush, so it may work. The only concern I'd have is the sponge might not have enough firmness to actually push the flakes around. But it's certainly worth a try as that would be a very inexpensive alternative. Great idea! Please let me know if you do try it.

Thanks for subbing!

You're welcome! Please let me know how you make out.

Lol! It is easy to confuse or miss hear it. The double sided adhesive tape I used is by brand name Sook-Wang. But any strong double sided adhesive will work. I hope that helps!

Noted!

Good idea!

That's great! I'm so glad you liked it! (and got the gist of it, despite a lot of it being out of frame🤦‍♀️

Thanks for watching!

It’s Sookwang and it comes in a huge roll. It’s pricey but I find I use it so much for many different techniques.

Did get to play with my gilding flakes and had lots of fun. Thanks again Corinne

Hmm…is it possible your pad needs to be re-inked? Also, what color of ink did you use? Black usually works really well but other colors can ‘show’ as very light tint on the gilding flakes. It can also be a good idea to try embossing and de-bossing (the reverse side) to see both looks and see if your ink color shows more on one version or the other. Hope that helps!!

I’ve never used gesso so I can’t say for sure..but I assume it will cover everything?? As you use your ink..you will still ‘see’ the metallic color under the ink..you just tint the gilding area it touches.

Use more gilding flakes, it did not stay on adhesive areas.

Hope you enjoy it!

You are so welcome!

Thank you! 😊

Welcome 😊

Maybe you should take the sweet out of your name. You sure sound rude to me.

Where are your videos? Would love to watch and learn how to make the perfect one!

You can search Corinne Nikish on RU-vid..you should see my smiling face (LOL!) From there you can watch my videos. I believe I have 26 posted so far. If you hit the subscribe button, RU-vid should notify you when another one gets posted.

Hope that helps!

@@corinnenikish5662 sorry I was being sarcastic to Hayleydoherty9557! As she felt the need to tell you how to make a video!

Lol! Your comment made me giggle! And clearly I didn’t get it!
