LOVE this stuff! It gives whatever marker I am using a gold shimmer, and mixes the color so I get a lighter color. Does anyone else have any experience to share about this stuff? - ----------------------------------------- From :Michelle_M._Lim@siltronic.com If you spread a bit onthe surface of your stamp with your finger or a brush then stamp on black paper the effect is really cool. The interference color becomes more brilliant/metallic on a darkbackground. Liquitex makes a bunch of different colors, other than gold: red, orange, green, blue, and violet. I've also used the green, and blue to color dragonfly wings. I stamped the dragonfly on vellum text weight and embossed it in black, then smeared the paint on the surface of the wings. I've also used the violet interference (one of my fave's) on a large pansy image. - --------------------------------------- From: Kate Whitridge I've used it on a finger-tip to add shimmer to stamped jewellry and the sun and sun's rays on the water, and I've mixed it with acrylic paint when making crystalline paper. I've got several acrylic interference paints - gold, silver, blue, green, violet. Each one adds a translucent shimmer of it's particular colour. The only thing to watch out for is that if you want stamped lines to be crisp, then you need to apply it carefully so that it doesn't cover the lines. If you do get it over the lines, you can still see them, but they'll be blurred a bit with the metallic shimmer. These paints are just wonderful. In fact every time I reach for one, I imagine hearing Dee Gruenig saying, "And this is just my *favorite* thing...", although I'm not certain that she's used interference acrylics on the videos. - -------------------------- From: Jim & Kari Is this stuff just acrylic paints with sparkly or metallic in them? I've heard of a neat technique where you emboss an open image in gold on black paper and then you take a Marvy and color in the center (say = you're doing a heart). You can't really see the marvy ink, but.... = Then you dilute some metallic acrylic paint (10 to 1) and with a paint = brush, paint over where you colored with a marvy. You're supposed to = use near the same color paint as the marvy. The result is a shimmery = center that has picked up the color of the marvy. I really like doing = this. Is this what you are talking about with the interference? Or is = something completely different!?!? - ------------------------------- From: stampatti@juno.com (Patti Welsh) I used the gold on my hummingbirds over the green wings and ruby throats. Just beautiful. Really. Love that stuff. - ----------------------------- From: Dew1na@aol.com The Daniel Smith paints are "watercolor" interference paints, whereas the others are acrylic. - ------------------------------ From: mavinci@juno.com You can mix them with paper pulps, too, and it's gorgeous. - ----------------------------- From: Natasha Laity Snyder I have some of these, and mix them with gloss medium, and they work just fine. You have control over how much pigment you put in, so it gives you more flexibility. I would bet you could mix these directly in with watercolors and use them that way too. - ------------------------------- http://www2.netcom.com/~smith25/cloud9.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "True friends are like guardian angels; always with you in spirit, loving you, supporting you, expecting nothing in return ..." --Barclay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This message was from "Angelhrt" - -- The rubberstampers mailing list is proudly sponsored by the Dueling Modems Arts & Crafts Forum.

It is especially nice for stained glass windows. There is a wet embossing. Stamp your image on the paper, don't emboss, use dye ink. Turn it over and paint water on the back of the card (you need to use watercolor paper). Then put the soft cottony padding that you find in bandages on the light box, place the image face down on it, and using a gel writer or a demitasse spoon push those areas that you want raised. Turn over often to see if it's the way you want it. Let dry and then you can color it. It really works with Christmas trees, Santa's beard, and anything that you want to appear 3-D. Try it! Barbara (StampBear) bholl@halcyon.com - ----------------- TRIPPLE EMBOSSING - -------- To: AlphaBecky Some of mine crack after I trim them. I ususally emboss a larger piece of card stock, let it cool, (you could weight it down with a book after it cools), and then trim it - carefully - just before putting it on the card. I use glue most of the time and then weight it down again. It is very fragile and will crack if handled too much. - -------------- Does anyone have any trouble with the square of emboosed powder curling? Each time I have done it, the edges curl up so much that it cracks when I mount it to the final project. I usually go ahead and let it crack, miracle tape it on, and then give it a quick shot of heat again to seal up the cracked lines. I would love to hear tips for avoiding it in the first place! AlphaBecky greene10@mto.infi.net - ------------------ From: D1derly@aol.com Hi everyone! Here's something different to try if you haven't already... I was coloring in some balloons with Wet Looks Embossing markers (I stamped them with dye-based ink on glossy sticker paper) and some of my more-used colors are starting to dry out and leave "lines". So I colored very slowly, making vertical lines right next to each other, and that took care of the "lined" look, pretty much, but some parts were drying before I could get the EP on it! Out of frustration, I took my EP container and held it above the colored-in balloon, and tapped out a little mound of clear EP onto the balloon. It is really funky to watch when it melts-- it beads up and runs downhill, and looks like it won't work, but it eventually smooths itself out and looks like I triple embossed it! It does crack if handled too much, just like the other triple embossing techniques' finished products. One could use their fingernail to get between the sticker paper backing and the paper, peel, and gently mount it to a thicker piece of cardstock to keep it firmer...? - ----------------------- Okay - you asked for it - the triple embossing technique. I learned this in a class I took from Catherine of Papers by Catherine during the Atlanta stamp show last November. It's so-o-o easy and gives a beautiful effect! The directions are straight off Catherine's printed directions. Stamp image on cardstock and let dry thoroughly. (Our ivory cardstock creates results that look like antique porcelain.) Use a heat tool to speed up the process. FABRICO Fabric Ink does not smear after drying so it is suitable for this technique. Dab on embossing ink [clear] with an applicator top or small sponge. (Do not drag the sponge or the ink on the stamped image will smear.) Sprinkle on clear embossing powder and heat to melt. Let cool and sponge on more ink. This second time you sponge on more embossing, you don't have to worry about smearing the image because it is sealed under the melted powder. Sprinkle on holographic or psychedelic powder and heat to melt. Let cool and repeat the embossing process a third time with clear powder. This third layer fills in all the uneven spaces and imparts a deep gloss to your image. Trim all around the embossed image with scissors or paper cutter. Mount the embossed image on a piece of cardstock cut from one of our Recycled Postcards, only slightly larger than the image. Use this shiny element as the focal piece for your collage card, or add 2 or 3 more layers of backing to it and use as jewelry. Now - for my discoveries - Using a rainbow pad on the stamp gives a really neat color effect under the embossing layers! When I made the seashells, they looked a little "bland" so after I cut the image out, I "rolled" the edges on the clear embossing pad, then dusted the edges with gold EP and melted it again. Be careful when heating though - lay the image flat on your table (preferably with some paper padding under it), then heat - DO NOT TOUCH THE IMAGE UNTIL IT HAS DRIED AND COOLED COMPLETELY. If you mess with it before the gold has set, you'll smear everything! Try this method - it is so easy and so fast and the results are amazing! If you have the opportunity to take one of Catherine's classes (usually given at a local store during the days of a stamp show/convention), be sure to sign up. We learned several great techniques and she showed LOTS of examples! It was great fun! Oh, she and I also discovered that her husband and I graduated from high school together - I came home afterwards and found his picture in my yearbook! Shows what a really small world we live in! Have fun! LindaSueN@aol.com (Linda Neumann) - ----------------------- << Do you color the image first, or just emboss the outlined image? >> In the class we did not color the image and I haven't colored any since then either. Again, I always use a rainbow pad so that there is some color for the holographic to pick up. Try coloring - see what happens. Just remember, sponge the first layer of clear embossing ink (tap, tap, tap it on until the entire surface is covered). Do not rub it on or the colors and ink will smear. Once you put the clear EP on and heat it, the colors and ink are sealed and you can then rub the other layers of embossing ink. Let me know if you are successful with the coloring. Linda - -------------------------- To: LindaSueN@aol.com Copies to: rubberjunkie@juno.com, rubberstampers@firewall.GEnie.NET Date sent: Sat, 1 Mar 1997 01:16:42 EST Subject: Re: RS: TRIPLE EMBOSSING TECHNIQUE (LONG-ISH) From: stampatti@juno.com (Patti Welsh) I tried this last night. I had a little card I had already stamped on with dye ink rainbow. I tap taptapped the first coat and heated. Then I coated again with embossing ink and (having no halographic powder) put on glitter ep. When that was cooked, I coated once more with the ink and covered with clear ep. Well, after 3 coats, I have a pretty image with embedded glitter which actually acts sort of like holographic, but there are lots of pits all over the card still and it feels a little oily. So, I've gone in a wiped another layer of embossing ink on it and coated once again with the clear ep and heated it up again. This time I kept it hot while all the ep actually bubbled like it was boiling and the paper was starting to smoke. I think the layers below were remelting again. Well anyway, it now has many fewer (but still some) pits in it and it's not oily any more either. But some seems to have melted itself through to be back of the card as well as the front. I guess I'm not doing something right. A little later: Well, got to thinking about this, and decided to try again. So I stamped up another card and had at it. I think I figured out what I did wrong the first time. I used TOO MUCH embossing ink. This time I used a VERY VERY thin coat each time and it worked perfectly and I got just exactly what I thought I should have gotten after reading the original description. I wasn't working with an embossing ink pad. I had squeezed the EI directly onto a sponge, and it was pretty thick and gooey. By tonight it had soaked into the sponge more and so went on in a much thinner coat, and therefore, the powder melted smoothly as it is supposed to do. Anyway, this effect is SPECTACULAR. It realy looks like the glitter is suspended in the middle of the embossed image. Very 3D-ish. I wonder if we tried this technique on clear heat resistant acrylic sheets we might make our own 3D-vinyl sheets. A thought. I don't have any of that kind of acryllic right now. Anyone want to try it? StamPatti, vsa & vsr - ---------------------------------- I found a little bit of a trick for triple embossing that seems to work - at least on small items. But you have to be quick for it to work. Emboss the image the first time, as usual. While it's still hot (like immediately!) pour your second layer of EP right over the hot embossed image (no additional embossing ink or glycerin needed) Blast it with the heat gun again. The image will smooth out a lot. Keeping the heat on it until you're ready to put the third layer of ep on. While it's still hot (like immediately - again!) pour your third layer of EP right over the hot embossed image (no additional embossing ink or glycerin needed now either) Blast it with the heat gun again. The image will smooth out and look and feel like glass. In other words, if you can get your image from the heat gun to the EP really fast, you don't even need to use additional embossing ink. The hot embossed image will HOLD the loose EP and it will melt right in when it's heated. I got some really neat looking images using this method. StamPatti@juno.com - vsa & vsr - -------------------------------- LAYERED EMBOSSING ok you guys have been asking and I finally found my paper on the layered embossing ,, ( by the way wolfenet was downa lot today,, so sorry for the delay in answering mail, but I did get the grab bags packed for all you who's checks arrived today.)[ to begin, secure your piece of paper to be embossed to another piece of cardstock, I use the new tombow adhesive, for the first later you will need to apply e,bossing ink, ( not too much) preferably clear to the paper.. Apply embossing powder.. for a metallic look, I started with bronze powder, Heat powder, after powder has melted and is still warm, apply another layer of powder to the warm embossing powder, heat. Keep building up layers of embossing powders, silvers, gold,coppers using a unique or metallic powders. Glitters can also be sprinkled in at this point for a dramatic effect ( it will stick to the warm embossing powder.) After building up about 4 layers of opaque powders begin my building 2-4 layers of clear embossing powders. then stamp desired image into the ink then stamped image directly into the warm embossing powder,, you must work fast,, these are directions I received form stamp a rosa.. I know they used a heat resistance tape with this also.. to give a nice look,.

The bristles are in a round brush, and they are all cut to the same length. You can dab them on your dye ink pads (kaleidecolor pads work great!) and then "pounce" them on your card to get a really pretty background... it ALMOST looks like airbrusing. You can layer colors on to make other colors, you can use templates (like clouds) to get really airy looking effects... They are super cool.

And one of his friends moms called and told me her daughter had it, and it will just run its course....He actually got dressed today, we went to walmart, and got some dish soap, and laundry soap, and of course a toy.....then when we got home he put his dads big t'shirt on and is now laying down on the couch upstairs....We were supposed to go to my hubbys company picnic tomorrow, but Ben and I will stay home. He is improving, it is just the nastiest virus I have ever seen. He can keep 7up down.....and sprite...etc....so we have made progress...I think he is starting to get hungry, but he wouldn't eat his toast, so back to liquids. I just want to thank all of you for all the wonderful support you have giving me! You are all just a bunch of bickering idiots :) & I love you! Things are looking up!

I just got a newsletter today from Mayvis, so I just learned the "North Idaho Stamp Show" in Coeur d'Alene will be held Oct. 11 & 12. [Maybe you already knew this.] Anyway, I'd just like to say if anyone else knows -- or finds out -- which vendors will be there, *I too* would like to hear about it. Thanx, gals 'n guys! Anyone on this list live in the Coeur d'Alene/Sandpoint area???
