the Ranger giveaway box arrived yesterday!
but we'll get to that later...
And so did this...
180 of the NEW distress ink colors...yes...180!
and PLENTY more of the coffee and olive archivals too...
and more Perfect Medium...
and LOTS more workshop supplies.
Look @ those colors!
What a beautiful sight!
And...
I DO practice what I preach!
I ALWAYS get the reinkers too...
in my books I say that pads NEED re-inking @ night, when all the stores are closed...
trust me...it's TRUE!
so...we gotta be prepared!
On to a few questions about the Stampers Sampler cover...see photo in the previous post...
#1...PS. Did you use the Sage distress ink on the cover project? Any other colors?
No...actually the art for this issue was requested way back in July...
long before we got the new distress colors.
Because the distress inks stay wet longer, you can create custom colors, which is what I did for this art.
I blended broken china and brushed corduroy.
The background color is brushed corduroy used alone.
LOVE IT!
#2...I love the magazine cover and was wondering if you would share where to purchase the bird cage.
That cutie is made by Maya Road and comes in a set with birds, wings and cages. VERY FUN!
#3...ok, I think? the bird on the cover is Maya Road?, but it looks like the wing is bent? shopping info pleaseeeYes, the bird is also from Maya Road and the wing is made with grungepaper. Details in Stampers Sampler!
now some other questions...
#4. I know you told us in class you use Perfect Medium, but I forgot why.
I use Perfect Medium for embossing, watermarks and to adhere Perfect Pearls. I LOVE it because it seems extra sticky and with this one pad, I have multiple uses.
#5...this one had me rolling on the floor laughing...Maybe you can give lessons on tweeting - I don't get it. I get facebook, texting, etc. and I am "computer literate" but just can't seem to get tweeting.
GOOD LORD...NEVER!
There's NO way you'd ever want any techno info from me...phew...never!
That would be as bad as me giving driving directions...
NOT a good thing.
But THANKS for the laugh!
And speaking of THANKS...
many THANKS for all the book orders yesterday and for all the kind words! I sincerely appreciate it!
The books will ship next week.
DRUMROLL...
Here's what I've been teasing about...
Justin and Alain from Ranger have donated ...
ALL 12 of the new distress inks...
to be given away here.
Pretty cool...huh?
HUGE THANKS to Ranger for supporting me and for their AWESOME blog giveaway...
Here's what one lucky person will receive...
Now if you think these inks should live with you...
you'll need to leave a comment.
it's pretty simple...
for a chance @ these awesome inks...
We'll leave the comments open 'til 8am on Monday morning...
then I'll ask Justin to choose the winner.
Hey...I don't want that responsibility!

Wow what an awesome prize. Hope I am lucky .I use the other colors alot. Love the distress look. thanks for a wonderful blog. shirley
I love your blog so much. There's always something inspiring here. And I love Ranger inks. They are the ones that I find myself reaching for the most, so to have the new distress inks would be like...I don't know...completing a favorite set. wow! Thanks for the opportunity and thanks for all the encouragement to make art.
Wow, what an amazing giveaway. Ranger and of course you Wendy are so kind to do that. I would do just about anything to get my hands on the new set of Distress Inks. But I'm quite sure I'm not alone in that. You do such wonderfully generous giveaways on your blog Wendy, thank you for that.
OMGoodness! Those colors are fabulous and, yes, they do need to live with me. :)
Oh, I would so love to get these colors = the distress inks are my favorites, not just for burnishing, but fo stamping, and especially embossing!
I live in a remote northern community and only get to a Michaels with very poor selection about every two years. I've heard great things about the Ranger Distress inks, but never had the chance to try them. It would be cool to win and have something new to play with.
Wow....what great colors. They could make awesome art!
These colours are yummy. You have such an enthusiasm for art and life. Fun to read your blog.
Here is my story...I don't have a BARN DOOR to open and store my distress inks in. However...I would CRUSH OLIVES and eat FOREST MOSS. I would walk on TUMBLED GLASS while wearing my CHIPPED SAPPHIRE ring, carring BUNDLED SAGE with a STORMY SKY. After doing that I would have to use my PUMICE STONE on a RUSTY HINGE(and my feet). When I am done I will dress in my VICTORIAN VELVET and enjoy some SPUN SUGAR and WILD HONEY all while reading Wendy's blog. That's my story and I am sticking to it!
I love all the new pretties! I would make a good home for all of the new inkpads! Can't wait to try out these colors! Thanks for this amazing giveaway!
Well now, those inks are just what i need to get back into stamping... i've been a busy girl since before Christmas....(ornament exchange, a fundraiser, 2 different classes to prep and teach, took some classes too, a valentines swap and help plan a retreat and teach at it) and now it's time to get back to the simple pleasures.... and do some stamping and play with the grunge.... yep new colors of ink would spur me on. ( i could use some new stamps too...I keep checking my store and they aren't in yet....)
ah, well, i can still play with all my old favorites...
Now it's time to send a giveaway to Norway...."hint,hint" ...
This color is stunning....and a "must-have".
Hope I will be the lucky winner.
Thanks a lot for this great opportunity.
