Spectrum Noir Metallic Inks–World Launch!

Tune into Hochanda on Monday 22nd October 2018 at 6pm and 8pm for the launch of the one day special.  Shows will also be on the Tuesday.  These brand new inks are the same water reactive inks that you can find in Spectrum Noirs very popular metallic pens – but now that they are available as an ink you now have many more versatile options on how to create art and craft with these.  They are highly pigmented, opaque on even the darkest background, multisurface, water safe when dry and finish with a matt metallic shine.  I’ll talk you through each of my samples to show how I’ve used them…

Top Tip:  Although there’s a ball bearing inside the pots – I prefer to stir with a cocktail stick to make the magic happen – you can then draw or drip with the stick or wipe it onto cut and dry foam for stamping or sponging.

On this card I’ve painted and dropped colour onto heat resistant acetate and sprayed with water and sprinkled salt on, then heat embossed stamps by Sheena Douglass on the reverse.  I’ve then attached this onto rainbow mirror card.  Also on the card I’ve painted black card and die cut leaves and further in the background I’ve sponged onto kraft card.

I have stamped the eagle onto black card using a black ink then using a cocktail stick and fine paint brush I’ve painted him in.  The background was stamped by transferring the ink to stamps using cut and dry foam and the flower dies were sponged using a similar method.

Stamps and dies by Sheena.

The bottles have been stamped, embossed and die cut onto heat resistant acetate and then painted from behind.  The background has been sponged.  Stamps and dies by Sheena.

This is another heat-resistant acetate piece but this time mounted onto glitter card.  The sentiment is inked using cut and dry foam. Stamps by Donna Ratcliff.

I’ve gone for a dramatic card here by inking the stamp with cut and dry foam and then quickly using a wet brush to draw some ink out to shade. Stamps and dies by Sheena.

This lantern is showing off the acetate again with rainbow mirror card lined at the back and lightning bolts scratched into it.
