Ranger Booth Projects from CHA

Here's a couple more pieces I made for the Ranger booth. The first on is with Alcohol Inks and the new Metal Foil Tape.

The background is my personal favorite in the new Kraft Resist papers from Tim Holtz. Soooo cool!

You will love this stuff.

Making a class to use it. Can't wait !!!

This is highlighting the Memory Frames. I used the Steampunk Debutante papers from Graphic 45 and Tim's Sprocket Gears with some Metallic Mixatives.

The Lavish Trim ribbon was so easy to die to coordinate with the papers using Adirondack Color Washes.

Off to Blick's tomorrow for class supplies. Love just roaming around the store there. And the people (Anna) and her crew are THE best!!!! Worth a trip from anywhere...

Tomorrow is the last of the cold streak for a few days....40 degrees on the way. Whoo Hoo! So easily amused.

Be well!

Ranger Alcohol Inks on Metal and UTEE Project

Two different shots. Metal is hard for me to shoot, and both of these aren't very good...

I had almost forgotten about this project. It was the first one I did for Tim. Candy C showed it on her blog with a great picture, better than the one I could get, and I thought you might like to see it.

This was so much fun working with copper and silver sheets of metal that I embossed with 9 different Texture Fades from Tim's Alterations.

This metal is from Streuter, not the new Metal Foil sheets from Ranger, but the technique can be done with several different products. I made this before I ever knew about the new product from Ranger to show off the Alcohol Inks and Texture Fades.

Then I put them on small square canvases from Blick. Add the Alcohol Inks and various Idea-ology pieces, and the Numbers with UTEE Brightz. Very cool process with the UTEE.

We've had Thunder Snow here and Lightning for several hours. The wind in incredible. Drifts 5' high in back of the house. But so far, no ice!!!!

Be well and stay warm.

Flower Charm-Tip of the DAY!

This is what you can do with the little 2 hole punch from Dick Blick....now known as just "Blicks." Or Contenti has them.

I punched the center of the snap and the bottom layer of the flower to make more holes. It's difficult to see the hole in the petal as it is in shadow....

It becomes a hole large enough for a brad or a hole for a jump ring.....making it a charm for the side of any creation. Like the GrungeBoard coin purse.

So there you have it.....a tip for the day!

Enjoy
