Another Adirondack dye ink sample...
and I wanted you to see how tim's new die cut flower fits perfectly with my large flower!
This gives us even MORE versatility...
I got these questions several times yesterday...
so I'll take a few minutes for just a quickie response...
I watched the pigment & pearls video and now I'm itching to try.Here you have samples with Adirondack Dyes. Here I go again: what's the difference between dyes and pigment inks??
Dye inks dry much faster...
pigments stay wet longer...
and normally they need to be heat set.
HOWEVER...Ranger's inks are unique because they are quick drying opaque pigment inks.
So... if they are used on a porous surface (cardstock, chipboard, paper, grunge) they will air dry in about 15 minutes. You can also heat set them too, instead of waiting for them to air dry.
You can also use them on non-porous surfaces & heat set them.
The dye inks are transparent...
Ranger's pigments are opaque...
so the dyes & the pigments each give a different look...
You can stamp with either.
Does one dry faster than the other?
Are they embossable?
YES...the pigments work well with embossing powders, because they stay wet to grab the embossing powders.
Can you use the perfect pearls+water mixture on dye inks too?
YES you can...mix the reinkers with Perfect Pearls...
You can also use the blending tools/foam pads to apply the dye inks...
One more question...
did you hint that Tim has a new machine coming?
YES...but he's not showing that until CHA.
Let me just say...you won't believe your eyes...
It's just what you expect from Tim...
TOTALLY innovative & over the top...
AWESOME!
It's just...pure artistic genius!
It made me weak in the knees when I saw the photo...
and I'm NOT kidding!
I can NOT WAIT to get mine!
And to clarify about his new dies...
I used them in my Big Shot & Big Shot Express...
with PERFECT results!!
but I don't have a Cuttlebug...
NOW...
a huge...
YIPPEE...
I got the final new book cover yesterday...
The bad thing is that it's a PDF format & I have no clue how to change it to a JPEG to post it here...
So, I printed it out & scanned it...
thus it's NOT a good picture...
the real deal will be cool...
but ...
since you're friends...
I wanted to show you anyway...
TA-DA...
Here's what the clarity of the REAL photos will look like...
Matt did awesome CLEAR very detailed photos...
Several have asked if book 1 & book 2 can be put into the same mailer to save on shipping $$$...
YES we (that would be Rick) can do that.
There are a few copies of book one left...
& they won't be reprinted.
On the To-Do list today...
I think this will be a fun play day.
I got 2 brand spankin' new acrylic storage binders to embellish for the 12...
new stamp releases...
yippee...
Time to make art!
