 Hi there I'm Sandy Allnacht artist and paper crafter here on YouTube and I'm going to be embossing on airbrush today and using a breast cancer fundraiser stamp set. I'm part of a surprise blog hop for Ellen Hudson celebrating the stamp set that came out a while ago but we wanted to raise some awareness and remind you to get the girls checks. Okie doke and make a card to send to a friend who's suffering from this dreaded awful thing called cancer. Since I'm going to be airbrushing I've got my Nina card stock ready and I'm going to use my Ellen Hudson craft assistant that black square metal thing because it's really easy to clean. I'll take my Copic marker and pop it into the air gun kind of turn it so that I make sure I get at the right angle and when I press that button I get a different kind of spray if I hold it way back or a different kind of spray you want to hold it up close and I just want to make basically pink paper and why wouldn't I just use pink paper well because I couldn't do the rest of things I'm going to do on this card for one but I can also make it whatever color I want when I airbrush it myself. It's really hard to get airbrushing even and that's one of the reasons why I'm actually gonna do the stamping on top of it because I know how hard it is. It took me like three tries to get this video done because I wasn't able to seemingly get it even. That's just one of those things that happens sometimes the marker jams up a little bit and you have to jiggle it around a little bit or pull the nib out a little further and other times you just need to re-ink and that is apparently what I had to do because part way through this I decided to check the other nib to see if I even had ink left in the marker and it needed some assistance so that is another issue you may have if your airbrush does not blow out a ton of color. Now often I want this really light color so yeah this is one of those few times when I wanted a relatively heavy coverage I didn't want to just color on the page I wanted a really soft look but I was struggling with this so I decided to re-ink it and look at what happened immediately as soon as I put ink in my marker. Oh my goodness how ridiculous is that I sometimes wonder how I survive as an artist when I can't even figure out that my own marker needs to be refilled so I just spray a couple of times over the whole thing it's not real easy I find to just do it all in one swoosh one spray which probably would be better if you can just do it all in one move across because filling in all those spots to try to even it out is relatively hard. So I may be doing it the hard way I'm no pro at airbrushing I just kind of like doing it it's kind of fun to try some techniques with it from time to time so I'm just kind of making it up as I go along right but the air the embossing that I'm going to do on here is going to cover that anyway so I put the messier side on the place where I'm going to stamp well actually that the right hand side is the better side so I'm going to stamp first my sentiment and that one I'm going to emboss in white and I didn't use any kind of embossing buddy or anything on this before starting to do my powder and my my stamping normally you would do that because you don't want the the static to hold extra little bits onto your paper but on this airbrushing it doesn't stick to any of that which is kind of nice as long as you don't finger it a whole lot I suppose because what it sticks to is the grease in your fingers that that kind of whatever whatever is in your your skin so just don't touch it and you'll be fine now the flowers I had set up in the misty just whole group of them so I could do a panel down the side and just use do stamping on part of my piece of paper and then I'm turning my my paper so I don't have to just pick up the stamps and move them again I'll just turn the paper to figure out exactly what angle I want them at so that I can fill in the top and the bottom and these are actually layering stamps but I'm using them just individually because I want to just flower shapes and these I'm embossing in clear and do not look at the fact that I have big chunks of stuff in my clear embossing powder I've had that thing around for ages and I really need to just dump it because it's full of goobers but it still works and I'm of the belief that when things work just use them so there you go and look at that how it changes the color a little bit of the embossing I thought that was really cool I had an idea it would work and then it actually did work in real life which was very fun the stamp set also comes with dies for the flowers but it also comes with this extra die there's no stamp for this one but it's the ribbon and I thought I would airbrush that as well so it would match everything else in the same color and I'm airbrushing both sides because I wanted to get around the edges I didn't want a white edge showing so I figured if I airbrush the backside as well then the front side wouldn't have that white edge all the way around it so I just kind of move it around until I get it all done airbrushing is kind of it comes out of the marker and an angle so you need to sort of adjust a little bit as you go so this can be the one piece of dimension on my card I'm using some of the Tombow what are these called power they used to be called power tabs now they're called extreme tabs I guess you can call them extreme because they're very sticky but they're thinner dimensional than using the precious the big roll of the 3m tape so if you ever want a low profile bit of dimension on your card these are perfect for that they're also super sticky you can cut them in half put little pieces around that ribbon portion etc and there you go very very simple and straightforward card in a really fun technique because I got to get my airbrush out and who doesn't like that right added a few little bubbles on it a little bit of sequins just because it's perfect for the princess warrior that's going to receive my card so that's about it for me make sure you go see the blog hop and visit everybody else and see all the wonderful cards they've made I'll leave a link here for you to the other video I made with this stamp set so you can get another idea and you can click on my face to subscribe if you haven't yet already and I will see you guys another time go get the girls checked okie doke bye
