Hello buddies, it is Dounia with you for an additional ‘With 3 Issues’ submit.
This function on the PaperArtsy Weblog is the place 3 bloggers are despatched 3 gadgets to incorporate of their mission. We have now no clue what PaperArtsy HQ goes to ship us, there is perhaps a slight variation (for instance on this spherical we every had been despatched totally different stamps units from the identical launch) however usually 2 of the three issues can be equivalent.
My thriller bundle contained the stamp set FP019 by France Papillon, a pack of Printed Tissue PT08 by Alison Bomber and the PaperArtsy Small Songbird die to play with. the subsequent weblog subject is ‘Ink Pads’ which I selected as inspiration and so as to add one other problem into this mission. I targeted on a quad of blue Versamagic Ink pads by Tsukineko.
With all of that, I made a trio of tags! They’re interactive to suit into the general theme of ‘Hidden’. Although I have to admit I used to be extra targeted on the technical processes and scrambled on the finish to place all the things collectively in a cohesive completed mission…
VersaMagic are very pigmented inks and boast nice opacity. I needed to discover their layering potentialities and the way totally different they’d look relying on the background. So I began conservatively with two tags with most worth distinction: one white and one black. I made a decision to benefit from the blue gradient to implement one among my favorite stamping approach: constructing depth with repeat stamping and color worth.
I began with the color closest to the background, so the lightest on white and the darkest on black and lined many of the area. That is seem the ‘furthest away’ because it blends to most with background.
I then picked the subsequent shade and lined barely much less of the tags to create a barely ‘nearer’ layer.
I feel you get the ink: the color turns into extra of a distinction because the background and the stamping covers much less area.
Closing color, similar course of! I cherished how the ink reveals up on the black however the mass of traces had been changing into very complicated – I wanted one thing to make the foreground pop. As Versamagic is a water-based ink, you may dilute it with water when moist (however it can set completely as soon as dry). I used the clear tones created with the water mix to color elements of the lightest stones and spotlight them.
To be fairly frank, I most well-liked the tunnel impact created by the berry stamp so I did a model on black, reversing the color order. I feel the depth works on each of them however with very totally different vibes!
This close-up highlights how the layering close to the perimeters contributes to the depth, not simply he color. Additionally the black paper is barely textured, which is absolutely evident in macro!
My subsequent concept was fairly experimental for me. PaperArtsy Tissue is printed by the off-set technique, that means precise ink is on the floor. It might probably subsequently theoretically be used for picture switch on a gel plate… As VersaMagic is a gradual drying pigment ink, I believed it might be a great candidate for coordinated prints. I got down to strive:
I inked by gel pate, took a print with chosen part of Printed Tissue (I used to be cautious to place the printed facet on the plate, usually), then rapidly took a second print with a black piece of paper. Success!
The outcomes are fairly refined however I really like the dreamy environment they create. The switch is commonly extra apparent with daring designs just like the titles however the botanicals additionally work. I had the outcomes with the darker ink, as the opposite didn’t create sufficient distinction for the switch to be actually seen. Additionally my gel plate is now blue.
Between the print and the colored tissue, I had fairly sufficient materials to die minimize birds and end the tags.
For the present theme ‘Hidden’, I’ve added flaps that may open and reveal little surprises!
I’m fairly pleased with this enjoying session and plan on experimenting extra with tissue picture switch. I hope this mission evokes you!
Keep artistic!
