Fabulous colours , although all that lovely ink wasted , maybe try using a piece of cardstock under your cards and all the residual ink won’t go to waste , you could use it as a background? , my oxide sprays have only been used once so thank you for the inspiration ❤️❤️ , try and shake your bottles from side to side it won’t be so messy , great video thank you 💖💖
@NinaRibenaMixedMedia5 жыл бұрын
Thanks AliLou. Please rest assured the ink is definitely not wasted. I use paper towels because they can very easily be glued to mixed media paper or card stock to make instant backgrounds. Because paper towels are 2 ply, the ink soaks through to both pieces and you therefore get two for one! Here is the link to one of my other videos showing how I used an inky paper towel to make a beautiful background and finished art journal page kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGq5Y3WYosdnbrs. I also have another video here where I have used several inky paper towels to make a gorgeous journal cover kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3Pcooqrnd50i7s

Hi Nina. I just wanted to say that you have inspired me to start crafting again. After I lost my 19 year old son to leukemia I lost all interest in my most favorite thing. Which is crafting. Well I broke out my supplies and started with art journaling. I have some really neat things and could use some support. Thank you so much Nina.

Hello Tereasa. I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your Son and I can understand why you lost interest in art during this most difficult time. How lovely that you now feel ready to start crafting again though. You might find our Facebook group comforting, as its a very supportive and encouraging place to share your art, get inspiration, and make like minded friends.

Good morning nina, sometimes I hear myself talk to you, when you have to make a choise, that's funny. I opted for the white flowers this morning, but the cards turned out very pretty.

QUESTION: Are the Sizzix thinlits cut on the machine from dies, or do they come already cut as they show up on your youtube. I looked them up on Amazon, but still wasn't sure after reading their directions. I don't have a Sizzix machine.
@NinaRibenaMixedMedia4 жыл бұрын
Hi Phyllis, you have to use the thinlits on a die cutting machine to cut the shapes. They don’t come pre cut I’m afraid. You can buy similar pre cut shapes from Etsy and eBay - search die cut flowers and leaves. I hope that helps 💕🍁🍂
