Born Pretty Stamping Set

Kako su prošlu i ovu godinu u svetu pečatiranja noktiju obeležili prozirni pečati, tako mislim da ih u korak prate i silikonske podloge za pečatiranje. Mnogi proizvođači pločica su u prethodnih godinu dana napravili svoje verzije, svoja viđenja ovih korisnih stvarčica, a nedavno je to učinio i Born Pretty. Osim samih podloga (da, nisu se zadržali na samo jednoj), oni su otišli korak dalje i napravili i nekoliko setova za pečatiranje, a upravo jedan od njih želim da vam predstavim danas.

As much as I think that last and this year in stamping world were marked by clear stampers, I firmly believe that stamping mats follow them very closely. Many image plate makers have offered their versions, their visions of these useful little thing in the past year, and they were recently joined by Born Pretty. Along with stamping mats (yup, plural), they went a step furteh and created several stamping sets, one of which I'd like to show you today.

34818

Born Pretty set za pečatiranje 34818 postoji u tri varijante. Sve tri sadrže podlogu za pečatiranje, tačkalicu, tanku četkicu i pincetu. U prvom setu se nalazi mala podloga, u drugom (ovom koji ja imam) velika, a u trećem setu se dobijaju obe podloge. Sve je spakovano u lepu čvrstu cilindričnu kartonsku kutiju. Gledano kao celina, setovi su dušu dali za pravljenje dekala, ali svaki element seta se, naravno, može koristiti nezavisno od drugih, a sve u skladu sa vašim sklonostima i veštinom.

Born Pretty stamping set 34818 comes in three versions. All of them contain a silicone stamping mat, dotting tool, liner brush and tweezer. Set #1 comes with small mat, set #2 (the one I have) has larger mat and set #3 comes with both mats. All of this is packaged in a nice, sturdy cardboard tube box. As a whole, these sets seem to be made for decal-making, but each element from this set can, naturally, be used individually and according to your taste and skill.

Velika podloga za pečatiranje (34556) se po dimenzijama skoro poklapa sa A4 papirom (tačne dimenzije su 28 x 21 cm). Prednja strana je mat, ali glatka, a zadnja strana je sjajna pa se podloga ne kliza. Centralni deo podloge čini radna površina. Levo i desno od nje se nalazi po pet bezbojnih i crnih polja za pravljenje dekala, obrnuto pečatiranje ili isprobavanje kombinacija boja na svetloj i tamnoj osnovi. Polja su dobrano veća od mojih noktiju, čak i palčeva. U gornjem delu podloge se nalaze crna i bezbojna polja u obliku bočica laka, koja sam ja upotrebila kao palete (imajte na umu da lakovi koji ostavljaju tragove na pečatima mogu pustiti boju i na podlogu), "lenjir" sa označenih 5 centimetara, koji možete koristiti da premerite slike na pločicama, i još nekoliko polja koja možete upotrebiti za kombinovanje boja, kao palete, dodatni prostor za dekale ili šta vam već padne na pamet. Čišćenje podloge je veoma jednostavno - možete koristiti lepljivu traku ili aceton (podloga je otporna na aceton). Pošto je sama podloga prozirna i bezbojna, ispod nje možete staviti papir bilo koje boje i na taj način proveriti kako vaša zamisao izgleda i preko osnova druge boje. Takođe možete na taj način ređati i različite dezene da vidite kako bi se uklapali jedni sa drugima. Lakovi se brzo suše na ovoj podlozi, tako da zaista brzo možete napraviti dekale, ali to znači da ćete i češće morati da dodajete lakove koje koristite za bojenje.

Large stamping mat (34556) nearly matches A4 paper in size (it is 28 x 21 cm). Front is matte and smooth, and the back is shiny so as to prevent it from slipping around. Central area is what I'd consider main work area - this is where you'd scrape and stamp. To the left and right from it are five clear and five black nail spaces on each side, that you can use as outlines for decals, reverse stamping or as testing area for colour combos over light and dark base. These spaces are quite bigger than my nails, even thumbnails. Upper portion of the mat has clear and black spaces shaped as polish bottles, which I used as colour palette (keep in mind that polishes that stain your stampers may stain mat as well), a ruler with 5 cm marked, that you can use to measure images on plates, and several more designated spaces that you can use as additional places for decals, palette, colour-combination test area or whatever you may like. Cleaning is super easy - you can use sticky tape or acetone (mat is resistant to acetone). And since the mat itself is colourless and translucent, you can put any colour paper underneath it and see how your design would look over other base colours. You can layer different designs in the same manner to see if they would go well together. Polishes dry fast on this mat, so you will be able to make decals very fast, but you will also have to add polishes you use for filling in more often.

35949
31337

Tačkalica koja se dobija u setu (35949) je dvostrana i spada u srednje-sitnije tačkalice. Osim za tačkanje, može se upotrebiti za popunjavanje manjih površina bojom.
Četkica (31337) je tanka i dugačka, mada ne poput crtača za nail art. Ukoliko umete da crtate, koristiće vam za konture i druge tanke linije. Pošto ja nisam spretan crtač, meni je dobro došla za popunjavanje sitnih prostora na ovom motivu sa pločice BP-L040.

Dotting tool from the set (35949) is dual-ended and it is in the medium-smaller range. Along with dotting, you can use it to fill in smaller areas in the design.
Liner brush (31337) is thin and long, although not as long as striper brushes. If you can draw, you could use it for outlines and other thin lines. Since I am far from skilled in the art of drawing, I found it to be a useful tool for filling in small linear spaces in this image from BP-L040 stamping plate.

848

Pinceta (848) ima izrazito tanak i špicast vrh. Verujem da je ovo tip pincete koji se koristi za nadogradnju trepavica, ali zbog zakošenog vrha je veoma zgodna za skidanje dekala sa podloge i pozicioniranje na noktu. Za skidanje dekala sa podloge treba koristiti bočnu ivicu pincete kako ne biste pocepali dekal.

Tweezer (848) has very narrow and pointed end. I believe this is the type of tweezers used for eyelash extensions, but its bent tip makes it useful for peeling off and positioning of decals. You should use the edge, not the tip to remove decals from the mat so as not to rip the decal.
