hi everyone welcome to the Hedgehog Hollow it's a double video day because
it's a ranger release day and today I have for you the range of distress
release and in this video I have an overview of what they're releasing and
then we'll have a second video where we show you tips and techniques well I'm
gonna do a couple of demos for you in this video as well so let's dive right
in and show you what they're releasing so we're gonna start off with the new
mini archival Zin distress colors so there's three packs that they're
releasing here and there in the distress colors so you may have seen in a
previous video that I went to a Wendy Becky cast and wendy has archival inks
they're amazing and I'm a real convert because I really never used my right my
archive was before even though I had them and Hannah used them in a class at
Creative Asian she can manage to only need to go and buy some of these
archival inks they're pretty cool because they're waterproof they're
permanent you can stamp on fabric and then if you heat set them with an iron
or a heat press that kind of thing there then it completely permanence you can
stamp on fabric and make it permanent and we're gonna get 12 colors to start
with and I'm sure there'll be more they've said if people we like them
we'll get more so I'm sure we'll get some more so we're going to have 3 packs
there's just saw in the packs you can't get them individually we have peeled
paint mermaid lagoon and faded jeans and dusty Concord
we have picked raspberry barn door spiced marmalade and fossilized amber
and then we have black soot grand espresso
hickory smoke and a vintage photo and there are reinkers for them because
they're only coming in the mini size they've instantly done reading curse for
us the other thing is these here are the same as that came in the large distress
archival pod that some of you might remember from a few years ago I shall
get ready to grab it for me and in the distress Ochs eyes draw at the bottom
Greg there is a large the bottom next one down there is a large pad the one on
the back this is a pad now you can see how well my pad is used because while
it's still in its packaging but I'll open it up for you so you can see I
actually grabbed this it was in I think the Hobby Lobby clearance the other day
that's when I grabbed it and I was intrigued by it and this was
before creative ation before I knew that these were coming and partly it's been
around for some time it's gonna throw my rubber shit right he's kind of used to
it he's so what you have is full pads in
here and this is the hickory smoke you've got the vintage photo the ground
espresso and the black soot and the idea was you kind of had a mixed-media
palette that was permanent all those kinds of things but it's far more
convenient of course we now have the separate pads and then they've added a
few more colors in by having these here as well and then we also have the
distress archival storage tin so I'm going to open up now I got to use the
black soot of this in my Tim Holtz class that I did at creative ation I was
really impressed I really enjoyed using it and I like the
fact that I have these so I can stamp over my alcohol inks with these because
archival inks will dry on non-porous surfaces which I think so we can stamp
over on you alcohol poles we can stamp over our regular alcohol inks we can
stump over our alcohol lift prints and by having 12 colors we fill a whole
archival ink tin which means we're gonna need another Tim Holtz four out of eight
which means grab these two up to Ikea and build us some more shells which
means we have some fun new things to play with here too so we also have that
perfect storage solution so you can see there and I'll pop links to all these
things of course in the description below for you so we have our nice
storage there as well so that's one of the new things now I'm sure the other
thing you all seen these in are back from creative Asian video but we have 12
new distress oxide sprays so I've arranged these in a very pretty rainbow
order along the edge of my glass mat here I left a little gap so you could
see my archive walls but I've had so much fun playing with these we used to
in our Tim Holtz class and I do have my samples here it
the back wall so this was the class that Hannah and I took I know you've seen
these in other videos but we use the bundled sage and the vintage photo now I
used more of the bundles sage hence mine looks a little bit more on the gray and
Hannah used a little bit more of the vintage photo we stamped at the bottom
here using that archival distressed black soot but look how beautifully
chalky those finishes are and they're just so much fun to play with
it is distress oxide in a spray it behaves like distress oxide except you
can do all sorts of other things with it we had so much fun playing with them so
let me show you for those of you who haven't played with distress oxides and
Greg is learning I actually did a similar video to this for scrap wood
calm and he saw them he's like can we do this in a video because they're super
cool and so these are distressing this is the regular distress ink that's
been around for a long time comes in a black pad also comes in a mini size then
we have distressed oxide comes in a silver case does not come in a mini
sized they say that the surface area the pad is necessary for the chemical
reaction of the pigment and diffusion to take place let's take the lids off we
have this is your regular dye ink distress and this is your dive pigment
fusion of oxide I'll put a link in the top right hand corner to an overview
video I did about distress oxides when they came out I think two years ago now
creative ocean before last so let's have a look how they look differently on
paper so that's your regular dye this is your oxide so your dye ink is very
bright your oxide is little more chalky and then when you spray them your dye
obviously reacts with water your oxidize your oxide is going to oxidize greg's
pointing say spread it so let's spray the two I'm gonna give them a quick dry
because otherwise it's going to run everywhere as soon as I pick it up and
you're going to notice that your oxide is whiter its chalky ER you get an
oxidized reaction your red is more distressed it's going to run like a
watercolor and so you're just gonna get two
different reactions but I think the coolest part of oxides is how it behaves
on black so I'm going to closer so you can see you put your oxide at the top
you can see that's nice and a little bit chalky ER and then you've got the dye at
the bottom there so they're the difference on white cardstock now when
you go to use it on black you'll die it's just gonna soak straight into your
black cardstock you see nothing however when you take your oxide onto black how
cool is that because you have the pigment and the diffusion the pigment
sits on top of your black cardstock and it really pops out against the red which
is pretty cool and that still goes for your distress oxide sprays because I use
them just now in another video and I made a really pretty tag on Kraft
cardstock and you can see here how that Kraft cardstock those colors are still
popped out I used the dusty Concord I used the orange which is the spiced
marmalade and I used the Pratt pistachio and you can still see all of those
colors because they pop out on black cardstock so I think that's super cool
that you can use oxides on black but let me show you how the sprays work now of
course your sprays are going to also work on your distress tags and your
watercolor card stocks all those kinds of things as well and you know me and my
splat boxes I love my splat box because this is the Tim Holtz splat box this
folds flat and so I can spray in here like I'm going to now but the other
thing I really like about it and if I want to and I want to get some different
techniques let's actually spray like this for a change I'll turn it round so
you can see I can stand my cardstock up and I can kind of get drip techniques
and other fun things let's spray on some black I'm going to turn that piece of
black cardstock around that I had so there's one thing about distress oxides
is whether you get the reading that one's I've been using so let's grab
out okay so one thing you'll notice about distressed sprays and the reinkers
is they separate so let's grab one I didn't use last time they have the
pigment in the bottom its finalists you can see they're the pigment lays in the
bottom and the pigment is separate and the dye is on top so with both of them
you need to give them a shake before you use them so if you're going to use the
ring hoe you would give it a shake before you use it the same applies with
the spray and you can either do that by swirling it around and around and Tim
has said if you're not going to use the tip how about to give you dudes fire
around and around because we're the way the oxides are kind of chemically made
and you can end up with some oxide coming out of here but his tip was to
grab some kitchen towel put it around the top I'm really just give it a good
shake and you'll hear there's a silver metal ball in there and that's what's
going to bind the two pigments and dyes together so just give it a really nice
shake just like that and then you'll find that the two bind together it takes
five to ten seconds for its to happen so this is the faded jeans I haven't used
this one yet and we're now going to just look how cool that is you can see there
I'm going to pop this down I'll turn it so you can see it I'm gonna give it a
try I'm gonna use my Ranger heat at all because as we know this gives you the
heat that you want to dry it but it doesn't give you that huge airflow so
it's not going to blow my ink around and then we'll pick out some other pretty
colors but you also have that amazing thing about distress oxides that we can
layer colors so we can mix lots of colors and we're not going to get mud we
can layer those colors you do want to give them a dry in between and it
doesn't have to be completely dry but we do want to make sure it's reasonably dry
in between but look how that blue really pops even on the black it's really
popping out nicely so that's our first color
let's now pick which we mix with it let's go for some
pink I'm gonna go for some picked raspberry so again we've started with 12
colors just wrapped my kitchen towel around the top 5 to 10 seconds all it
takes and you really do see the difference it kind of goes from the two
separate pieces to a really nice kind of creamy color I'm gonna add that little
bit of pink you can see there how cool does that look so I've mixed my pink on
my blue I don't have purple on my cardstock I have pink over my blue and
that's because my blue was dry underneath they're not going to mix and
then we're going to oxidize them once I added a few different colors we're gonna
oxidize them together and then you're gonna see where the magic really happens
so Tim was explaining that these are not just Rhian curves that they've watered
down or anything like that they're ready to take them awhile to work out how to
put oxide into a spray to make sure that it behaved like a distress oxide
okay that one's kinda dry let's also add in a little bit of cracked pistachio and
a little bit of spiced marmalade and I'm kind of living dangerously without my
kitchen Halbert so I'm gonna push Brits don't manage to get both at once I love
that pistachios probably our favorite oxide color in regular stress I never
used crack pistachio but when it comes down to distress oxide
it's the color I use all the time
and I'm gonna leave crazy dangerously and I'm gonna add some spiced marmalade
on which as you know there's the create mud if it wasn't oxide while we're
layering all these gorgeous colors together and I'm using a splat box so I
have no distress oxide on my glass mat it is all in my splat box and these slut
box folds down completely flat and then just slides in my little expedition
Bester's whatever they call them now I care and it's amazing so I'm going to
show you these close up and then our oxidize them so you can see the
difference between them but you'll just see that I've used colors that I really
live dangerously but because I dry between the layers I'll give these to
Gregg so he can show you really close up how these look so that's on a creme tag
how pretty is that and then this one is on black so you wouldn't normally expect
a spray on black to work but that just looks absolutely gorgeous and you can
imagine adding a shimmer over the top or you could add your distress mica sprays
over the top you can of course stamp over these with those archival inks you
can do all sorts of things over the top of those now I'm going to spritz them
with water which is going to give you that oxide technique so I'm going to
grab my Nouveau lightness bottle and of course you can use these you don't have
to spray directly onto the paper you can also spray onto your glass mat and then
use them in kind of this machine technique and you can also spray through
stencils you can spray onto other mediums you don't have to use in the way
I have here I've just kind of done this as a technique I can also go in and
can take think away my kitchen towel I can take layers away and you see they
now look really different jiggly's wanna black you can really see
some of those white oxide kind of bubbles appear so this is that one on
cream and you'll see particularly towards the top look there how you've
got some of those different things where it's now oxidized on the top there and I
think that just looks really really pretty so you can put them down you can
mix them with your regular distress stains you don't just have to stick only
two oxide sprays you could mix in a spray stain and you could mix in a
distress oxide pad you could just some ink blending at the same time you know
you can really mix your mediums together you don't have to stick to one medium or
the other which I also think is a really cool idea but we just wanted to kind of
highlight it here and one thing you notice is this is a distress stain so
you can see here this is the distress stain so this doesn't separate at all
and compared to say this is a fossilized amber so you can see in the bottom that
you have that pigment down the bottom so that's the difference between the two
but I could put this on the top now and I would then just have another layer
that I'd be mixing on but look how pretty the bottom of my splat box is too
you know I also end up to some really pretty things in there and this is
really easy because now I'm done with my slap box and I want to put it away so
what do I do I can fold it down I kind of have to do it towards me I find it a
little bit easier but just flick out my two edges and Gregg loves this because
it really makes you scare off a lot lot easier and I just fold it and that's it
that's what now goes in my bookcase that's it and it folds up when I want it
to it folds down and I'm ready to go and I think that's a really neat idea now of
