Ciao a tutti!! Oggi noi di Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog vi sfidiamo con questo argomento: TRY TO CONTAIN YOURSELF! Ci sono tante possibilità per questo tema: potete alterare un contenitore, coppa, stagno, bottiglia, scatola ecc o fare un contenitore da zero! Aspettiamo con curiosità i vostri lavori! Questa è la seconda settimana della nostra DesignerSpotlight per Agosto : Christine Bedford, se non l'avete fatto andate sul suo blog ad ammirare i suoi progetti!
Hi to everyone! There are so many possibilities for this theme, you could alter a container, cup, tin, bottle, box etc or make a container from scratch! This is the secon week for our Designer Spotlight Christine Bedford, check out her blog to see your wonderful projects!
Per questa sfida ho deciso di costruire un contenitore da zero, ho creato un ATB molto grunge con i set di timbri Evolution, Sideshow e l'ormai classico Umbrella man di Tim Holtz!
For this challenge I created a very grunge ATB with the stamp sets Sideshow and Evolution by Tim Holtz, Distress Crayons and Ice Resin for the top of my project!
Short tutorial with some steps
Ho iniziato stendendo a random del gesso bianco su un foglio di Ranger Sticky Back Natural e tagliate i quadrati che vi servono per comporre il vostro ATB. Il secondo passaggio è con Stencil di Tim e la nuova Grit-paste, un prodotto da possedere... e in grande quantità, è favoloso! Terzo step: colorate con i Distress stain sprays. Il gesso che avete usato come base crea un effetto resist. In questo modo la colorazione non sarà uniforme creando un effetto molto grunge.
I started spreading White gesso on a sheet of Ranger Sticky Back Natural and cut the squares you need to compose your ATB. The second step with Tim's Stencils and the new Grit-paste, a product to buy ... and in large quantities, it's fabulous! Third step: paint with Distress sprays stain. White gesso that you used as a base creates a resist effect. In this way the coloring will not be uniform, creating a very grunge effect.
Scegliete il vostro timbro e usando un inchiostro Archival stampatelo sulla Tissue wrap. Incollatelo sui lati tagliati e colorati dalla Sticky Back Natural Canvas.
Choose your stamps and using them with an Archival ink on Tissue wrap plan. Glue it on the every side of your ATB.
A questo punto per dare un tocco di luce , ho usato la foglia oro variegata sulle parti degli stencil. Eseguire lo stencil con la Grit- paste è fantastico, la superficie rimarrà irregolare, esteticamente splendida. La foglia oro o Mica flakes la dovete usare con Pennarello Versamark e Sticky back powder. L'operazione deve essere molto veloce, appena vedete che la Sticky è pronta rovesciate sopra una gran quantità di foglia oro , premete con il palmo della mano e con un pennello togliete l'eccesso. Io la adoro! Finite i vostro lati con i Distress Crayons per creare ombre e profondità.
At this point I used the variegated gold leaf on the parts of the stencil to give a touch of light to my project. Run the stencil with Grit- paste is fantastic, the surface will remain irregular, aesthetically very beautiful. The gold leaf or mica flakes must use with Versamark pen and Sticky back powder. This step must be very fast, when you see that the Sticky is ready spilled over a large amount of gold leaf, press the palm of your hand and remove the excess with a brush. I love it! Finish with Distress Crayons the edges of your squares to create shadows and depth.
A questo punto non mi piaceva che la tela fosse così perfetta, volevo rovinarla un pochino e con una pinzetta ho cominciato a strappare qualche filo su ogni lato del quadrato.
At this point I didn't love that the canvas was so perfect, I distressed it a bit ( it says so?), with tweezers I teared off some wire on each side of the square.
Per il top del mio ATB ho usato un Metal knobs di Tim Holtz insieme ad Ice Resin e Indigoblu MORRIS DANCE MEGAFLAKE Gilding Flakes. Stessa foglia oro anche per personalizzare la word band che ho rifinito con Distress Crayons. Questo lavoro è quello che richiede più pazienza, perchè bisogna fare una lettera alla volta, basta avere la volontà e la pazienza e si fa un bel lavoro! Il procedimento è lo stesso con il quale ho ricoperto gli stencil, pennarello Versamark, Sticky powder e foglia oro. Io ho scelto la foglia oro con interferenze peacock, ma sullo shop di Simon Says Stamp la potete trovare anche in differenti versioni.
On the top of my ATB I used a Tim Holtz metal knobs together Ice Resin and Indigoblu MORRIS DANCE MEGAFLAKE Gilding Flakes. The same Mica flakes to customize Word band that I've finished with Distress Crayons. This work is the one that requires more patience, because you have to do just one letter by letter,you only need patience and you'll do a good job! The process is the same with which I covered the stencils, Versamark pen, sticky powder and Mica flakes. I chose Mica Flakes with peacock interference, but on the shop of Simon Says Stamp you can found them in the different versions.
Ecco tutti i lati e il top del mio ATB
