Last week I was playing with pigment sprinkles so I thought why not show another way of using them!  I have taken some tiny cups I have 'recycled' from communion services at church to mix small amounts of Embossing Paste with the Pigment Sprinkles. I used old orange sticks to mix each colour because the pigments do stain the wood. You could use cheap tooth picks as well. I had a separate palette knife to spread each colour as well.

Note: once you have finished with each tool ie palette knives, masks, put them in to some warm soapy water to soak. The embossing paste can dry very quickly depending on the weather, so you don't want it to stick to your tools.

I did one tap of the sprinkles for each colour, very very small amount, and about a large peanut sized blob of embossing paste, a little goes a very long way.  I spread them both onto my polkadot mask asap.  Here are some photos of the process. Note the close up of the finished piece, you get like a suede effect!

I will turn this background in to a card very soon!  Remember to put some grid paper down to protect your work area too!

Til next time, remember,

happy stamping colouring & creating!

FF@5'o'clock'ish, 25 October 2019!

Welcome to another fabulous Friday and yes, I did make it to 5'o'clock, am even!

I hope you like this little series of video clips and the creations made using my finished pieces.

NOTE:  It is wise to protect your work space with something non-porous like the teflon ironing mat I have used.  If you use sheets of grid paper, which is fine. But you will find with just one sheet, it soaks up all moisture and will be a bit of a mess.  It will also, if left on your pad of grid paper, buckle clean sheets underneath. Better to have something like the teflon mat. One, it doesn't let anything bleed through and two, it will withstand the heat from your heat gun as you dry your coloured pieces!

Tutu Tuesday, 3rd Sept 2019!

Hi everyone and welcome to another Tutu Tuesday!  How's this gorgeous little number!

It's been so cold and wintery here in my part of Sydney that I've gone all winter colour themed lately.  I have had a great play with the Pigment Sprinkles that were released in this year's annual catalogue.  My goodness didn't I get in a mess, but what fun.  I think you'll love these sprinkles too. They are very different to the Brusho powders SU had out not long ago.  These new Pigment Sprinkles are exact matches to our ink pad colours, what's not to love about that.  AND they do not have to have a hole pierced into their lid, they already come with a little shaker lid under the screw on lid. Handy as and much easier to control as well as travel with, no spilling!



So what have I done?  I've selected colours that blend well and sprinkled them onto Fluid water colour paper.  Next I have carefully spritzed a find mist of water over the paper.  Make sure you have scrap paper, and a couple of layers too, behind your work because these sprinkles are very vibrant.



Here's how much I sprinkled on to my water colourpaper, the next photo is after I had spritzed it with a fine mist of water...



Next a quick blast with my heat gun to dry and flatten the paper back down again...



Tip:  when sprinkle the pigments you may notice that they don't look anything like the colour descriptions.  But wait til you've hit them with water and you'll see the bright colours appear, brilliant!  Below are some of the sheets I created, it's amazing how brilliant these pigment powders are. I have to say I love them much more than those Brushos. And you know what? You get 6 different bottles for much less than those Brushos cost too!  Got to love that!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I'd finished playing, I turned several of these sheets into cards and I'm well pleased with the results I got.







This third one has to be my favourite & I've used the Very Versailles stamp set on this one

Til next time, remember

happy stamping, colouring & creating!
