@ 2 AM...what?
Yes...a vision so clear I HAD to get up & try it...
Someone in a class told me that art keeps her sane...
that might NOT be the story here...2AM???
I know...
It's TOTALLY nuts!
ANYWAY...
One of the techniques we learned @ Ranger U is tim's wrinkle free distress...it's a FAVORITE of mine.
You swipe the distress ink pads right on to the craft sheet...mist with water from the mini mister, & then press the tag into the inks & dry. FUN...
But since I'm the "official" Perfect Pearls demo chick for Ranger @ CHA...
I've been thinking about what new fun I could have with Perfect Pearls...
You need to gather these ingredients & work on Ranger's craft sheet... if you want to play along...
A border stamp...studio 490, of course
(I'm trying a giant background stamp next)
3 colors of distress inks..I chose peeled paint, broken china & brushed corduroy
a mini mister...add a dab of Perfect Pearls & fill with water up the the last "R" in Ranger...then shake.
I used Perfect Gold Perfect Pearls for the sample.
Pat the inks onto the craft sheet...leaving no space between the colors...then mist the inks with the pearlized mini mister, until you see the ink bead up.
It should look like this...
Stamp the numbers stamp into the ink, then stamp on the tag...
do this 3 times...
no need to clean the stamp in between the stampings...just stamp & go...then dry with the craft tool.
It couldn't be easier...a distress Perfect Pearls background...
So, instead of misting the entire background with shimmer, as I've showed before...
the shimmer is only on the stamped area...
Take a look... I like it!
Remember, once mixed with water, Perfect Pearls are
permanent.
You won't be WEARING glitter and no special fixative is needed.
Now I'm off to find a flower to use on this background and...
Make ART!

ps...Happy Easter! I hope you eat LOTS of candy!

Here's the update...
Ok...so I didn't use a flower...
It's shocking...
I saw my cute tree stamp sitting there...just what I wanted...
All stamps are studio 490...
It's easy to make the Maya Road bird more dimensional...
Just trace a wing onto the back of grungePAPER, cut it out, ink & stamp...and curl...
An idea-ology snap is the perfect embellishment...
Now I'm off to try this with a background stamp...those class kits will have to wait just a bit...
I'm on a roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would get up at 2 am if I had a thought like this too. You just can't stop those brain storms. I love this technique and will have to try it. Fab idea!
I will have to make a tag with this technique and add it to the tag booklet from your class. Great vision, Wendi!
