Greetings! It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you! This week's focus is on Mixed Media with an emphasis on pigment powders. I created an encouragement card with the Tracy Scott 59 (TS059) Rubber Cling Stamp Set, the Tracy Scott 53 (TS053) Rubber Cling Stamp Set, the Scrapcosy 36 (ESC36) Rubber Cling Stamp Set, and Sleight Blue, Sunset Beach, and Violet Storms Infusions — all by PaperArtsy.
Here it is!
Cut a piece of 9" x 12" Mixed Media paper in half. Secure one half of the Mixed Media paper to the base of a stamping platform. Position the hexagons and the bee from the Tracy Scott 59 (TS059) Rubber Cling Stamp Set by PaperArtsy facedown on the Mixed Media paper. Press the platform's lid onto the back of the stamps and lift.
Gently dip a blending foam on a Premier Ink Blending Tool by Hunkydory Crafts into a jar of Distress Micro Glaze to pick up some of the glaze. Use the Premier Ink Blending Too to apply the glaze to the stamps. If you wish, you can spread the Distress Micro Glaze with a blending brush. Close the platform's lid to transfer the glaze to the Mixed Media panel. Repeat these steps to ensure good impressions for all the stamps.
Remove the image panel from the stamping platform and place it onto a craft mat.
Lightly sprinkle Sleight Blue Infusions by PaperArtsy onto the bottom part of the image panel. Lightly sprinkle Sunset Beach Infusions over and around the bee. Lightly sprinkle Violet Storms Infusions by PaperArtsy over the top part of the panel and wherever the powder seems light. Mist the image panel with a water-filled Fine Spray Mister by Spectrum Noir to activate the Infusions' pigments. You will note that the Distress Micro Glaze acted as a resist and the images' outlines remained white.
Tilt the background panel to encourage the Infusions pigments to blend. Use a paintbrush to spread them further if so desired. Gently dip a paper towel into any puddles to remove excess water.
When you're happy with the background, thoroughly heat set the image, trim to slightly less than 5" x 7". Use the edge of a pair of scissors to distress the edges of the image panel.
Pat an anti-static tool over the image panel then place the image panel back onto the base of a stamping platform. Position the "Soar" sentiment stamp from the Tracy Scott 53 (TS053) Rubber Cling Stamp Set by PaperArtsy towards the top left. Position the "Free to Fly..." sentiment stamp from the Scrapcosy 36 (ESC36) Rubber Cling Stamp Set by PaperArtsy centered under the bee (but straight -- oops!). Ink both sentiments with Dahlia Purple VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp. Add Clear Gloss Embossing Powder by WOW to the wet ink, dump the excess powder back into the container, and heat set the embossing powder.
Adhere the image panel to a white 5" x 7" card.
