Sometimes Vicki sends me some stuff
which I don't know or even have never heard about. This time it was
Ranger Foil Cardstock.
I really didn't know what to do with
it. It is shiny and slippery...it only means one...gesso, acrylic
paint etc. will be easy to scratch. And it's true! I checked some
acrylic paints and inks.
Ok...what now? I'm sure alcohol inks
will be great for it but I haven't got any. How to make a texture? I
haven't got embossing machine either but I found embossing powder in
my drawer.
I used Stampotique Original stamp which
is made from a good quality rubber and it's harder then acrylic
stamps. I won't be able to smear it when I will push it too hard. I
used Ranger Archival Ink for stamping. Than I applied some RangerDistress Paint. But...it won't be waterproof and I like
waterproof things especially on slippery background. I mixed Liquitex Glazing Medium with yellow acrylic paint and applied it on a pink
paint. Glazing medium gave transparency to the yellow paint and made
my 'Heads' waterproof!
I wasn't sure this mirror-like look of
the cardstock it was too much for me ;) I applied some ClaudineHellmuth Black Gesso and then using a tissue I removed some of it. It
gave me some brighter spots. Still I wasn't happy that's why I used
more embossing powder.
The result...
I was pushing myself out of my comfort
zone. It's not my favourite project but it was really great fun to
experiment with new products.

Wow - I love this tag. When I have seen this stamp before it always made me think that it was a bit 'creepy' or spooky looking. But the colours you have used and the way you have stamped it - the faces look cute and innocent
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show what a good imagination you have
