 Γεια σας! Είμαι Βικη και καλύτερα! Σήμερα θα δημιουργήσω ένα τελευταίο λαϊκό λαϊκό Ξεκωρήσω στο σκέτσο μου Και θα ξεκινήσω να κάνω κάποια σκέτσο στο καλύτερο μου Ξεκωρήσω να χρησιμοποιήσω ένα σκέτσο πολύ τελευταίο που έχω Και θα χρησιμοποιήσω ένα σκέτσο πολύ τελευταίο στο καλύτερο μου με το τεξό Τώρα, εγώ πιστεύω ότι αυτή η σκέτσο είναι by Hero Arts και δεν είναι αυσιασμένη But there are so many text stamps out there available and I'm going to make sure that I'm going to link some of them below Now, I'm going to make sure that I cover up pretty much the whole background As you can see, I'm not going for the perfect impression I don't really mind This is just the first layer on my background and most of it is going to be covered up by paint However, I'm going to use the stress paint, which is quite transparent It's not super opaque and that is going to make sure that some of the text at the background will be visible at the final piece Now, I'm going to do a fun technique today and for that you need to use micro glaze Now, I have micro glaze by Ranger, which is a team holds product and another one by Jutikin, whichever you have works perfect and if you don't have any of these products, you can always use Vaseline Now, I'm going to apply my micro glaze and in this case, I'm using the one by team holds with a very thin and stiff brush and I'm going to apply it in different areas all over my pages Notice that I'm going only top to bottom but you can go ahead and do right to left or any way you like You can also apply it with your fingers, if you wish or with the thicker brush The thicker the brush or the more the application You will end up with a more dramatic look Now, what that does is that when I'm going to apply my paint all over it and that's acrylic paint actually it's going to resist the acrylic paint so I hope you can already see how my paint separates exactly where that micro glaze is underneath I have covered up both my pages and I hope you can see where the paint separates already I'm cleaning up my brushes I'm going to cover up my paint and by the way, that's spiced marmalade if you're wondering which color I used I'm going to drink a little bit of my coffee and I'm going to make sure that my paint is dry So I'm going to build layers upon layers using this exact technique and I'm going to end up with a built paint look at the end So once everything is dry I'm going to bring in a baby wipe so that I can buff off any areas that still have that glaze on top and then I'm going to start over So again, I'm using my micro glaze applying it in different areas and these are the areas that are going to resist my next color and this time I'm going with Broken China one of my favorite colors from the Distress Line Now, as you can see, I'm dropping a little bit of my acrylic paint on my craft mat so you can see exactly how much I take with my brush and I'm going to go over the pages again Now, I still have the Distress paints that have that dabber on top Most of my dabbers are already dry I have them for years but I know that you can get, if you wish you can get new dabbers to replace those dabbers that you might have and they are totally dry or you can even totally change them with new flip top cups In any case, I'm not going to bother with new cups I'm just going to use them as they are and just unscrew the dabber and tip my brushes in or just add a little bit of the paint on my craft mat just like I did now So again, I'm using my heat gun to dry this layer and you can already see how beautiful it looks and I'm going to enhance it even more So I'm going to buff any excess and then I'm going to do the exact same thing on the next page So this is the final look on my background and of course you can go ahead and add even more layers, if you wish I'm going to stop with those two colors as I don't want that to look too busy It's already busy as it is So I'm going to use this stamp that is going to give a good texture on my background This comes from a stamp set by Tim Holtz and I'm using Sepia Archival ink Again, I'm using Archival ink just because it is permanent So no matter what I decide to do on top of those layers later on it's not going to smudge or smear Again, I'm not going for a perfect impression after all that just good texture So you see, I'm not even using a block to stamp anything I am only using my fingers and pressing my stamp in different areas and I don't know if you can tell through the camera but I can still see the text at the background coming through all those layers of paint and you will definitely going to spot that when you see the final photos at the end So now let's move on to the next step I'm using my scissors and I'm going to cut out a little bit from the outside edges of both the pages all over which is going to create a nice dimensional frame Notice that I'm using my scissors to cut out a slightly wavy line here so nothing is totally straight and perfect and of course I'm not working back to back to the previous page and that allows me to do that Now I usually avoid working back to back and that's because I might get an idea of tearing my pages somewhere or maybe I want to do some piercing, some stitching or even add an eyelet and if you are not working back to back you also protect the previous page, the previous project from possible bleeding of your paints and when I finish my project I can always stick those empty pages together which are going to end up giving me a more sturdier page which I really like Anyway, I am using my distress tool there so I'm going all around the edges to distress them a little bit more Now I'm going to add more details on the look that I'm going for so with my fingers I'm just tearing off some parts of my pages and once that's done I'm going to bring in again my sepia archival ink I'm going to use my craft mat underneath so that I make sure that I don't end up creating a mess underneath and I'm going to ink up the edges As I'm making sure that I'm quite rough with my blending tool this way I curl up the edges and distress them even more Now I'm going to draw a keyhole on this page so for that I'm going to use this die and you can also use any round object that you probably have laying around on your table So I'm going to use my pencil and I'm going to go around that die and then again with my pencil I'm going to draw a triangle just underneath that circle and now I'm going to use my scissors to go all around that pencil line and cut out the keyhole and now I'm going to treat the edges of the keyhole exactly how I treated the edges of the pages So I'm going to distress them and also ink them up and make them look darker Now I'm going to work a little bit at the back of the keyhole and for that I'm using a script text stamp which is quite big and I'm going to cover up the whole background Now the idea is to have text behind the keyhole as well as all around the borders So that's what I'm going to do here Again this script is an old stamp that I have but you will find links down below to a script stamp that is quite big as this is and it's still available online Now I'm going to continue working on this back page and I want it to look like an old book page that's why I'm using a distress oxide ink and that's anti-cleaning I'm going to cover up most of the page with that and I'm also going to add into the mix a little bit of vintage photo Now I'm going to spray a little bit of water This is going to help both those colors to blend in nicely and it's also going to oxidize the ink to give it a more chalky finished look which I think completes the look that I'm going for beautifully and I'm going to do the exact same thing on the other page and here is a close up look on how the keyhole and the paper behind it looks like at the moment So this is where I decided that I needed to ink up the edges with an even darker color just to help them stand up against the background So I decided to go around them with black archival ink and I'm only gik up the edges I'm not going further towards the center of my page Now I'm finally happy with how my background is looking so I will go ahead and work a little bit on my focal points For that I have chosen some of the butterflies from the latest released stamp set by Tim Holtz I'm going to stamp them on mixed media paper with black archival ink which is permanent and I have chosen 3 different designs there and now I'm going to cover up all those images with matte medium I'm using a dry brush to do so and I'm doing that because this is the way to turn a porous surface into a non porous and that's exactly what I need to use my favorite coloring method which is using my big brush markers Now that the matte medium is dry I can go ahead and use my big brush markers I apply a little bit of pink and then smudge it with my finger and I'm capable of doing that just because my surface is non porous and here is how I store my big brush markers I like to keep them horizontally in a clear box so that I can see all the colors and I really love them just because they are super easy to smudge they create shadows but at the same time they are quite transparent so they don't cover up the black lines of the stamped images Another great thing about them is that they dry permanent so when I end up sticking them on top of my project I will not be afraid of any technique that I might use on top of them since they will not smudge or smear Now as you can see I wasn't need white while coloring them at all since I was planning to cut them out with my scissors and once I have cut them all out I will use my matte medium to stick them on top of my background Now as I am doing that just to let you know about a question that I get all the time the big brush markers come in two different ways they are the big brush markers that they have the bigger barrel and the bigger nib the ones that I use but they also come in a smaller barrel with a very fine tip both of them have the exact same ink inside and can be used with the exact same way as I use them So if you have access on the smaller ones then you can get them if you wish so and you will find links down below to both those products so you can check them out see the prices and the colors that you can get Now as you can see I have cut out a few pages as well as the butterflies and now I will go ahead and do a little bit of splashing I have a little bit of white and black gesso on my craft mat I have also cut out a few pieces of scrap paper just to cover up my butterflies and now after diluting the gesso with a little bit of water I am going to create some splashes all over my background very optional I just love them and I like to add them on my pages so I always use black because I end up having a black quote on my pages so the black edges, the black splashes and the black quote is going to bring everything together and at the same time I do white splashes like you see me doing here because I always like to add some white highlights with my white gel pen so I think that these splashes like these really bring everything together and bind your different elements on your page nicely now everything is completely dry so I am ready to use my white gel pen I am adding some highlights around my butterflies and that's just a touch that I always like to do on my focal points I find that it helps them pop against the background and it gives them a nice green-sical look I am also going to add a few highlights around the keyhole and then I am going to use a fine black marker to add antennas for my butterflies since I didn't bother to cut them out now for my quote I am going to use this beautiful sunset this is an alphabets sunset by Concordant 9th and you will find a link to it down below and what I love about that is that you can stamp one letter but if it is one continuous word which is going to give the perfect calligraphy look now I am stamping the word escape and you will see how beautiful it is going to look at the end as one continuous hundreden word so I am going to stamp escape the ordinary and then I am going to use my white gel pen and add some highlights on one side of the letters this is going to help the letters pop against the background but that's what I always like to do on my pages and because I couldn't leave this page alone I just had to use this beautiful dye this is a leaf dye by my favorite things I have cut out a bunch of those leaves out of a green pattern paper and now I am going to use my Nouveau Deluxe glue and I am going to stick them coming out from all those little notches that I have cut out on my paper although I do have quite a bit of dimension on this page it's still going to be able to close and this would also be a great idea to create on a canvas since you can go as dimension as you like there now I am going to stick a few more just to make it look fuller and finally I have some of those white flowers by Tim Holtz which I am going to stick I have already cut them with my scissors so I don't have any stems at the back of them but you can press them as far as you like and they will end up quite flat and I will be able to close the book now I am going to stick them down with matte medium as you can see here I am creating clusters just close to the leaves and I am going to leave them white as they are you can of course match your projects and color them with any type of ink but I just like how that white pops against all those colors I am going however to color the center of the flowers with a yellow marker and now I am going to finish off my page by sticking three different stickers from this Tim Holtz booklet so I am going to stick one of them next to each butterfly and all those stickers complement the main quote so along with escape the ordinary I am going to stick make it happen Adventure I wait you close to my yellow butterfly and finally I am going to use the sticker BU bravely so my layout is ready all that's left to do is to stamp the date and for that I am using a roller date stamp with black archival ink and I am going to find a nice spot to stamp that and that was the layout for today I hope you had fun and caught inspired and if you did don't forget to leave my comment as well as give me thumbs up or my
