Creative Chemistry 101 Day 4 - Re-inkers 補充液的三種玩法




(Photo 1)

Tim’s Creative Chemistry 101 On-line Class Day 4 is about Re-inker applications! Again he demonstrated three techniques, namely Watercoloring with Re-inkers Technique, Layered Misting Technique and Custom Stamp Pad Technique. My take is as Photo 1.


 


The details of each tag are shown below:

Tim 大師的網路課程Creative Chemistry 101第四天探討的是水性顏料補充液(Dye Ink Re-inkers)的運用。Tim總共展示了三種玩法。Helen 跟著做的三件成品如圖一。 


圖二是把補充液當作水彩顏料來上色。儘管上色從來就不是Helen的菜,Helen還是發揮好學生該有的精神,把功課做完! 


圖三是層次噴瓶技法(Layered Misting Technique),這個技法對Helen而言簡直太簡單了,因為早已做好一堆自製噴液了,請詳自製復古金質噴瓶顏料(Perfect Distress Mist 


圖四是客製化印台技法(Custom Stamp Pad Technique),此技法Helen第一次看到是在Tim200712 Tags of Christmas Day 4Helen因找不到適合的章子來玩,一直未嘗試!這次Tim用的章子就是這顆蝴蝶章,正好自己也有,哇!此時不玩,更待何時?


 



Tag說明


1.          所有印章出自Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Collection


2.          圖二遮蔽版型出自Heidi Swapp,蝴蝶由Stampin’ Up刀模壓出


3.          本作品同時上傳參加Simon Says Stamp and Show ... a Tag Challenge!




 


最近格子又開始冷起來了,大家都沒來嗎?還是又都潛水去了?呵呵!若欣賞Helen這系列Tim風格的作品,請不吝給予一個「讚」喔!

Creative Chemistry 101 Day 3 - Archival Ink Uses

(Photo 1)


I know! I am quite far behind! But better late than never! Here comes my take (as shown on Photo 1) for Day Three which covered uses of Archival Ink. Three techniques were demonstrated by Tim, namely Alcohol Ink Agates Technique, Archival Resist Technique and Stamping with Reflections Technique.


The details of each tag are shown below:

Tim 大師的網路課程Creative Chemistry 101第三天探討的是永久性印台的運用。永久性印台主要分油性(Oil-based)印台和溶劑性(Solvent)印台,Tim總共展示了三種玩法。Helen 跟著做的三件成品如圖一。



圖二是酒精顏料瑪瑙石技法,是Tim的招牌技法,Helen2007年觀看他的第一支教學DVD後,曾為文介紹,請詳瑪瑙石技法(Alcohol Ink Agate)-酒精顏料玩法二


圖三是Archival Resist Technique Helen必須坦承不知如何翻譯Archival InkArchival是檔案的意思,但若將Archival Ink翻譯成「檔案印台」可能會笑死人吧!根據Archival Ink印台盒子上的說明,它是一種不褪色、無毒、無酸且防水的水性印台(Dye Ink),既然是永久印台的一種,那麼就暫時稱之為「永久印台抗色法」吧!(歡迎同好們惠賜高見!)


Tm用了四種Archival Ink顏色,基本上都是淺而鮮豔的顏色,不巧地Helen 手上卻只有黑色的Archival InkHelen變通的方式是用亮彩印台(Brilliance)代替,想說都是永久顏料(Permanent Ink),也許可行!(但這種取代其實有點像拿橘子換蘋果,因為Brilliance是油墨印台(Pigment Ink),非永久水性印台!不過結果非常成功!呵呵!太高興了,又學到一種新的玩法!


圖四是倒影技法(Stamping with Reflections Technique)。是將印章蓋在浮雕片上,當把Tag夾在浮雕片中,用Cuttlebug(小綠)壓過後,印章圖案會轉印在Tag上,並同時完成浮雕。


轉眼間課程就要結束,不過Helen會繼續用牛步方式把該做的功課做完!如果大家欣賞這兩天課程的分享(上篇功課)請不吝給予一個「讚」喔!

Creative Chemistry 101 Day 2 ~ Distress Ink

(Photo 1)


I am kind of late in terms of making my own practices and handing in the so-called homework!


Glad I finally managed to finish Day Two which covered three Distress Inkpad Techniques, namely Blended Spritz & Flick Technique, Brushless Watercolor Technique and Wrinkle-Free Distress Technique. None of them were new to me, yet it is always a delight to revisit these techniques which you never could produce identical results! My take is shown on Photo 1.


 (Photo 2)


Photo 2 mimicked Tim’s demonstration. Tim left his first and third tags un-stamped. To make them a finished look, I stamped Hero Arts Wildflower Garden on both of them. The details of each tag are below:

上週彩印天王Tim Holtz網路課程 Creative Chemistry 101開課了!Helen遲至週末才有機會動手做功課!好學生不僅要認真上課,該做的功課也不能少,否則就淪為空談的理論派了,不是嗎!


第一天課程算是暖身,是顏料與媒材的基礎(理論),沒有作品,Helen就不贅述!第二天進入了動手玩的精彩課程!主題是復古印台,共做了三張TagsHelen的作品為圖一,而Tim所展示的功課則如圖二,三張Tag及所運用的技法分別為圖三、四及五。


雖然這三個技法對Helen而言都不是新技法,能再次跟著大師複習,還是挺開心的!下週還有一整週的課程,有興趣的同好好像還可以報名喔!


 


Tag 說明


1.          印章出自 Hero Arts


2.          顏料為Ranger Distress Inkpads(復古印台)

Courage to Imagine ~ Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2012 March

(圖1)



三月份的Tim大師「12 Tags of 2012」挑戰並不難,Helen從月初看到就躍躍欲試,卻直到今天才有機會動手(如圖一)!


 


Tag說明


1.          Tim示範作品及詳細步驟請詳12 tags of 2012 – March


2.          大師的馬賽克蝴蝶跟Helen20071月分享的拼貼馬賽克(Mosaic Magic) 技法非常類似,差別的地方是Tim大師在小紙片上面塗上Glossy Accent。不愧是「戲法人人會變,大師果然不同!」!


3.          蝴蝶刀磨和樹紋浮雕片都出自Tim Holtz/Sizzix,字章出自Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous。背景上有若隱若現的文字,是Hero Arts 今年的新章Newspaper Background


4.          蝴蝶上的廢紙是這張卡片用剩的美編紙(出自Basic Gray),當時沒丟掉真是對極了!哈!


5.          另使用的材料有:Distress Embossing Powder(復古凸粉-Weathered Wood)Grunge BoardTissue Paper Foliage,都是Tim的簽名商品。沒想到這些材料Helen都有囤積,不知該高興還是慚愧!感謝大師出題,讓Helen有機會讓這些東東亮相一下!


蝴蝶近照如圖二,可看出復古凸粉和水晶膠的質感!

Life is Sweet



I love and have a bunch of MFT (My Favorite Things) stamps. Yet I seldom play with their challenges! What a shame!


I am glad I made this card which was based on this week’s MFT sketch challenge shown below:




Card Details:


1.          All stamps by MFT.


2.          Technique: Paper Piecing.


3.          The cotton candy was covered with white Liquid Applique. Stay overnight and heat. It is a pity that the picture does not do it justice!


4.          The color scheme was inspired by Lily Pad Palette Challenge due on Mar 15.





Helen很喜歡、也有不少MFT (My Favorite Things) 的印章,不過卻不常參加其每週的挑戰活動!很高興這禮拜終於做了一張卡片來參加!


這張卡片想送給即將過生日的小女兒!小女兒從小就是個笑口常開的小孩,看著她帶著笑容、神采飛揚的描述各種事物,一直就是種享受!不過去年九月起明顯感受到她受課業壓力的影響,笑容減少了且時常眉頭深鎖!十七歲的孩子,每天睡不到六小時,週末還要到學校活動一整天,做媽的實在心疼!然而這就是多數高中生的現狀,不是嗎?家長也只能祝福孩子:辛苦耕耘才可能有好收穫!


希望卡片上小女孩的可愛模樣,能讓小女兒舒緩緊繃的神經,即使是片刻也值得!


 


卡片說明


1. 所有印章圖案出自MFT (My Favorite Things)


2. 本卡參加的挑戰有:


MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #62


Lily Pad Palette Challenge


3. 小女孩衣服的技法為Paper Piecing



4. 棉花糖塗上白色泡泡筆,隔夜後再用熱風輕加熱,蠻有棉花糖的質感,只可惜照片無法呈現!

Every Girl Deserves a Fairytale 魔卡挑戰#55 構圖七


This card was originally made for some other challenges. Since I am also a fan of My Favorite Things (MFT) stamps and I incidentally found March MFT Guest Designer Contest-Hit the books, I think I have the perfect excuse to enter this card for the contest!



 



看到「Every Girl Deserves a Fairytale」這句話,Helen有點想笑!每個女孩都該享有一個童話!童話的定義是什麼?是否就是制式的「王子和公主結婚,然後快快樂樂過一輩子」?如果是,那麼為什麼只有女孩deserve童話?男孩不需要嗎?你同意這句話嗎?你對童話的定義是什麼?呵呵!不!還是不要討論下去!省點力氣來做卡片吧!



這張卡片的構圖完全參照魔卡挑戰#55 構圖七,顏色靈感來自Lily Pad Cards Viginia’s View #2的照片!而,能在佈滿花香及優雅音樂中閱讀,不管是不是閱讀童話般的故事,應該是人生一大樂事!



卡片說明


1.      主題章與字章出自My Favorite Things (MFT),兩個背景章出自Hero Arts


2.      用到的技法有:色鉛筆上色法、遮蔽(Masking)技法和復古印台直接拍印法。


3.      Entered Challenge:    More Cards Challenge #55

         Lily Pad Cards Viginia’s View #2


         Simon Says Stamp Challenge – Anything goes


         March MFT Guest Designer Contest-Hit the books



 

話說回來,Helen覺得自己能夠每天平安過生活,或多或少做些讓自己開心的事,就是最樸實和幸福的童話!
