by Kate Dachovska // February 9, 2016 // No Comments

Hi,

today I want to show you how can be mixed media easy. I prepared easy mixed media tutorial for romantic card.

My card base is 13,5×13,5cm. Apply structure paste through your favourite stencil.

Pain your favourite chipboard with white acrylic paint or gesso. Each process (drying) you can speed up with heat gun.

With Archival ink or another water resistant ink stamp randomly some small pattern. You can distress edges of card.

With 3D matte gel or another gel medium glue onto card base all embellishments.

Before splatters looks my card like this.

With any of your favourite colours make splashes. I love to use oil patels from Prima.

Detail of splashes.

Finally glue your panel on no card. And here is my final card.

have a nice day

Hi,

also for the first half of 2016 I have honour to be part of design team in Little Blue Button Stamps. I will play with many amazing images.

February 2016 release is awesome!!! Check all new digis.

I used Hawaii flower

I made simple card with main image. I always think that when you have such great image you do need to embellish your card so much. Main attention should be on image. I coloured image with Prima oil pastels and added shimmering with Wink of Stella clear brush. Sentiment is in czech language and it means congratulations.

All new released digis you can find here.

Have a nice day

Creativeworld – Germany 2016

by Kate Dachovska // February 2, 2016 // No Comments

Hi,

last weekend I was in heaven, I visited Creativeworld in Germany. It is exhibition like CHA2016 just in Europe and also it is international exhibition. I was mainly interested in all scrapbooking, cardmaking and mixed media new products. I was so excited, there will be so many new products during year. I did not took many photos because this exhibition is not about taking photos it is mainly about speaking with people and watching all around.

My number one product for next year will be new paper from french firm CANSON. They made paper specially for Copics and another alcohol markers, I have to say WOW!!! Alkohol markers blends on this paper just amazingly. And they do not bleed through, really you can draw in many layers and there is wall inside paper so colour do not goes through. This paper will be in shops from April.

New products from american firms you could see on youtube. European firms were also very good prepared. There will be many new stamps, colours, papers, embellishments. I saw some new mixed media products, great markers and amazing watercolours.

Longest time I spent by Prima Marketing booth, oh new lines and products are just perfect. New watercolours have got great pigment, I played with them.

There will be new Gorjuss stamps, my favourite images!!! Just wait till June!

French firm Aladine will have new big stamp pads – Izink and also embossing powders in so bright colours. Many new stamps and other.

I had great opportunity to play with all products from Kuretake. I never tried Gamsai watercolours, now I understand why many cardmakers have these at home. They are also perfect! I played with markers, with Wink of stella, Wink of Luna, Calligraphy markers and more.
