МК по декорированию брадс и новые АТС / Handmade brads tutorial and ATC

Привет, друзья!

Я сегодня в блоге Линдис с МК по декорированию брадс, а еще сделала новые летние АТС. Все карточки свободны для обмена :) Обратите внимание на красивые воздушные цветы на карточках - это рукодельная прелесть из Тулы, с моей малой родины, и называется "Цветы от Софи". А беленький ботанический чипборд на всех карточках - это от белорусского бренда Лавандовый Комод.

ENG Hi guys! This time I decided to pimp up some of my old brads. The ones with epoxy tops just don´t live long, unfortunately. The tops tend to peel and fall off the metallic bases, especially if they were exposed to direct sunlight. So I wanted to make my own colorful brads for my summer ATC set. This is what I made using the fabulous squirts by Lindy´s Gang.

Here is the video tutorial. Enjoy!

Basis process

• First of all, I peeled the old epoxy tops off the brads.
• Then I covered the metallic bases with white heavy gesso in two layers. No need to flatten the gesso, uneven texture is more interesting.
• When the gesso was dry, I squeezed several drops of Lindy´s Gang squirts onto them and let them dry. I used all ten colors so my bards would all be different.
• After the squirts dried well, I applied a thick layer of transparent glossy glue onto the colored surfaces, and let it dry in a horizontal position. Once the glue was dry, the brads were ready for use!

So I then went on and made a set of ATC "Blooming Summer", and decorated them with these handmade brads. Even if you are not into mixed media, you can still use our products to make custom embellishments for your pure paper creations!
