I love the juxtaposition between the dark background and the rich, vibrant colors! I have these inks and many 3-D embossing folders. You’ve inspired me to break them out, use them, play with them! Thank you, great tutorial!
Thank you so much for sharing your method of using the 3D embossing folders. The cards are so special! Also your hint on matching the background paper with matching ink is a winner! i have subscribed!
I try to slow down but get caught up with so much info i want to share! One of my brothers is even worse, my mom used to say she would need to concentrate so hard to listen and hear what he was saying that she would stop breathing.
This Blackout Letterpress method streamlines the Blackout Technique where the embossed cardstock is swiped with black ink instead of the embossing folder. It imparts a richer, more solid black background. Excellent! 💕
I am so attracted to contrasting card colors using black. I just love them. I was really pleased to see the black ink take so well to the first flower card. I have tried this technique on reg embossing folders with not too much success. So the 3D ones are the way to go. I’m excited to go try it out! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I definitely love the grungyness of them and half way through I wasn’t expecting to like them at the end! Sometimes these things surprise me!
Your cards are gorgeous. You are working hard to persuade me to buy those ink pads. I’ve loved all the projects you used them on. I so enjoy your videos! ❤
Nice technique and enjoyed the video, but fyi you do not need to wash brushes for distress ink, infact would not recommend that as they will not dry for days, just take a sheet of white paper and keep brushing small circles until the ink is gone.
@@ArtsyIslandGirl I do not have as many tools as pads, so I tend to use mine by colour ways reds, yellows blues etc. I find it just as easy to check them before use on white paper and keep brushing after use to remove excess but its up to everyone to decided what tools they wish to get and use. Really I was just commenting so that newer crafter do not think you need one for each you really do not.
@@CraigsOverijse you’re absolutely correct. I worked in a scrapbook store for over 10 years and was asked on a regular basis if they could be washed out and was answering that question before being asked simply because I’ve been asked it many times in the past. I too have one brush for each colour family and will use the same brush for many different colours within that colour family. For this video, the exception would be the brushes I use for the interference pads. I have a brush for each pad that I label. It is just a personal preference and the excess ink can likely be rubbed off on scrap paper to use with another pad, I just choose not to 😊
The detail ink blending brushes are from Amazon, the link to them is in the video description 😊 There are some with a chisel tip and some that are flat
Beautiful colors…..my favorite color I purple and all of the different shades of it. I’ve never seen those detail brushes you used with the inks. Can I ask where you got the, and what they’re called?
I just call them detail ink blending brushes. Not sure if they are called anything else. The link to the ones I bought are in the description under supply list😊
It is a Spellbinders platinum 6. It is definitely a fantastic machine and the fact that it folds up makes it take up so much less space when not in use. I also love how well each plate is labelled. You can find a link to it on Spellbinders website that (I’m sure) will have more info on it😊
They are cloud 9 interference pads. They are water soluble but I don’t believe water reactive ( like distress inks are). There is a link to the colours I used in the description and there may be more information about the pads and their properties there 😊
Lovely cards you created TYFS!!! Question if you could only have 3 or 4 of the Lisa Horton Interference ink pads which ones would you pick??? Love the butterfly card and the flower one is growing on me lol!!
🥰 That’s a really tough question. It really would depend on your favourite colours. I tend to lean towards the pinks/blues/purples so those were my first choices. The pad names that pop in my head that I remember loving a lot would be Galaxy Dream, Teal Twist, Opal Blush (I may be partial to that one because of the name and Opal being my birth stone😅) and then Magic Garden because I really loved how it looked on the dragon die cut in one of my last videos. I hope this helps, but definitely start with some of your favourite colours or the ones you enjoy working with most and go from there. I have yet to find one I haven’t liked💕
@@ArtsyIslandGirl thank you for your input I’m a Blue purple girl myself. I will check out the ones you listed. Thanks for taking the time to list them for me. 😊
Because more paper would be wasted. The way I cut them I get 4 4 1/4”x 5 1/2” pieces out of a sheet. If they were cut larger the most I could cut would be 3 pieces and since the cards I wanted to create were 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” anyways, it’s the most efficient way to do it😊
Interference inks of powders change colours depending on the background or when you tilt it in the light. These ink pads show up one colour on white and a different colour on black. While most of what shows up on camera is the bright colour against the black, when you tilt these cards in the light you see a shimmer of a different colour😊
Do you mean the white mat that I'm working on? it's the Tim holtz Media surface mat. Ad linktw.in/PYkRgu (this is the link to it on amazon if you wanted to know more about it:))
another awesome inspiration I ordered more inks already had folders! you idea's are amazing so much talent please give us more! ordered more brushes so not to use with others thanks for tip
