CHA demoing...........

YIKES!! It's THIS WEEK!!

My assignment from Ranger is to demo Perfect Pearls and the Adirondack line of products.

Hmmm...very interesting.

I had very little experience (ok...none) with Perfect Pearls until the last few days. So I spent 3 FULL days doing nothing but making technique tags and let me tell you...

I LOVE them.

I'll show you how to combine Perfect Pearls with Distress inks to make very cool vintage looking backgrounds. Add a stamp (maybe studio 490) or 2 and you have a very quick... fun ...EASY card.

I even used Perfect Pearls with tim's distress crackle paint...VERY interesting effect!

And...if you combine Ranger's new pigment inks with the distress inks... you get another totally different look.

Use Snow Cap White and a distress color to make wonderful pastels. NOT your normal pastels... It's a MUST have....but so is the Juniper...Cloudy Blue...Pitch Black... oh...and Butterscotch.

And an added plus, besides creating a matte finish...this pigment ink does NOT smell bad...

It works great on metal...I'll show you that too...and all of these!!




So, stop by the Ranger booth (#2935). I'd love to meet my blog friends and show you some fun PERFECT & INKY techniques.

Now about that studio 490 stamp storage system...if I talk to Michelle today, I'll ask her if I can show you...

It's really cool.......

I promise!!

Take Care!

You certainly have my curiosity now! Hope your table isn't too far from my table .... I'm afraid I'll be more interested in what you're doing than what I'm doing!!
