now about that Ranger INK giveaway...

thank you MR UPS...
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 pleaseee

Yes, 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!


I know you'll have a GREAT weekend...
if you...

make art!
wendy
STOP THE PRESS...
the Maya Road SEW CUTE minis (hangers, dressforms & more) have arrived!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm a big believer in reinkers as WELL. AND I ink my pads before "closing shop" for the day when I've been working with them all weekend. That way when I'm ready to get arty again, they are all set to go.

    And yes, please enter me in this fabulous giveaway!! Thank you and have an art-filled day today *smiles*

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh My Gosh..... OMG.... I don't even know, where to start!!!!

    Happy Friday.

  35. Oh my goodness, what a vision of lovely inkyness! I'm hoping and praying that I'll be lucky enough to have those gorgeous inks land on my doorstep. I'm keeping everything crossed, though it'll be hard to stamp over the weekend with my fingers crossed! Love your blog!

    Best wishes.

  36. Oh Justin, pick me. Those new inks would have a very happy home with me. They would get to play daily and help make cards and altered items for my friends and family. See, a happy life.

    ReplyDelete
  37. My distress inks never, ever get put away! They're always in front of me so I don't even have to reach for them! I love the new colors, and I think I must have all of the older ones......they certainly would make a new addition to the ones I have, especially for the album I am making for my mother's 90th birthday party!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I am absolutely crazy for the new colors and would love to win them (please please pick me!!!!)

  40. Oh what a wonderful sight. Love the new colors soooo much. I haven't seen them in the stores yet, can't wait to get my hands on them.
    Many Thanks for the chance to win. It sure would make my Monday!!!

  41. Hey Wendy...you know what? I don't want the inks to come and live with me...I WANT TO COME AND LIVE WITH YOU ... rofl...Hun, WOW, you have all those inks, I would have been doing that thing that ladies of a certain age do when they have a bit of excitement...*waving my hands in the air...what did you think I meant? LOL* And, the re-inkers tip...so true! My pads always go as dry as a bone at about 3am, just when my creativity kicks in .. Thanks for the opportunity to win these goodies...I promise that if I win (plllleeeease pick me) that I will look after them and keep them juicy and rub them with a blending tool and stamp them onto rubber and swoosh them onto a craft sheet and generally love them to BITS! Er,....another hugely long and waffly post from me..but I am guessing you will get the jist ...have A BRILL weekend...I am off to see that bloke T!m on Monday...that is if LindaE lets him free ROFL xx

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think I'll just die without those ink pads. So there.
    You wouldn't want to have ME on your conscience, now would you?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Crikes do you really read through all these comments. Mmmm think I could do with the inks to go with all the others which are getting lonely and crying out for their new family to come join them.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Ok, Justin, here's the deal. I have NONE of these new colors, so I am INK DESTITUTE, and I need an INK BAILOUT from RANGER please! I promise to use these inks in the best interest of the ink using public, and to repay the Ranger loan by making fabulous ART with these inks and Wendy's stamps! INKterest and PENalities may apply....

    ReplyDelete
  45. When I first saw these on Tim's blog it sounded like a recipe - all such yummy names!

    As I type this, the skies are dark, and grim, sleet in falling, but just seeing your rows of the yummy new colours and the chance of entering the Ranger giveaway - just chased away the blues.

    Off to make a marmalade sandwich, and coffee - no not with the ink pads - the real deal!

    Those names just tickled my taste buds - and they would do far more than tickle my art work.

    Go on lads, make an old woman happy in her Autumn years, in winter time - still a Tim Holtz groupie oops I mean follower - off to wash my mouth with soap!

    Have a great weekend and good luck one and all

  46. What a great chance! I have not found a shopping source for the colored Archival inks. I would really like to get those (not to mention the new distress colors) in addition to the black--my favorite. It also doesn't stay sticky on your stamps if you don't clean them and make a mess on the cling sheets--learned that the hard way with other permenant inks! Looking forward to your new book, too!!!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I could certainly MAKE ARt with all those new colours. I think its great Ranger having giveaways and you too for that matter. Always enjoy reading your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  48. OOOOOOHHH!!! The Ranger inks could certainly come live with me . . .we could make beautiful art together!!!! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I don't THINK they need to come live with me...I know for a fact they NEED to come live with me. Spot already cleared on my table...promise to use daily...promise to re-ink nightly!!!

    ReplyDelete
  50. OMG, I can't wait to get me hands on these new colors. It would be SO terrific to win them too! Then I'd have more $ for all your stamps... Crossing my fingers..

  52. Oh my! I NEED these inks! I just love the new colours, I have all the older ones but haven't got these as we've just moved house and I have my sons 2nd birthday coming up. I Really really think they'd love to come live with me, and they'll get a trip over the pond! Thanks for the chance! Always love reading your blog! Hugs, Rowena

  53. Hi Wendy...those inks definitely need to come and stay with me in my crafty cubbyhole...they will be well looked after and used every day...hugs kath xxxx

  54. I have a brand new 12 x 22 craft room and it's screaming to have those distress ink pads move in and keep my other distress ink pads company .. they are lonesome, they would be warmer in their ink cozies if they had more ink pad buddies .. LOL. Thanks for the chance Wendy .. !! happy Friday

  57. Passed the adoption screenings all set to go. The nursery is newly decorated, have nurses on hand to help look after the newly adopted babes. Plenty of paper for them to colour on. I'm sure they will be very happy in the North of England! See you all soon.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I would love to go and make art with the new distress inks. I think to make it perfect I would have to have a couple of Studio 490 stamps to go along with the inks. What a great giveaway!!!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Omgosh! What a generous giveaway. I would make such a good home for these inks ;)

    ReplyDelete
  60. Wendy, I think those 12 inks would love comeing to my house. I would keep them on my art desk. Only special things stay on my art desk all the time and the Ranger Distress Inks have top priority!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Thanks for this chance to win! This is very generous indeed. I would love to welcome these into my home - I've been told I'm a good hostess.

  71. I love the new colors! If I won them, I could use my budget for the re-inkers!!

    I love your blog, too.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Please pick me, I have no pennies left to treat myself to these after buying lots of Wendy's new stamps and Wendy's lovely new book also some of Tim's gorgeous new stamp sets too.I will have to be patient until next pay day otherwise.
    I promise to love them and make them feel very, very welcome. Their older siblings (original distress ink pads) are desperate to meet them too, not to mention the stamps that are longing to ink up and play, or that the card and grungepaper/board want to join in too.
    I have my eye on Tim's new sizzix stuff too. Too many lovely scrumptious goodies, too little £'s left to spend. :o(

    ReplyDelete
  73. I have my Tim Holtz ink tin case all decorated and ready for the new stamps.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Pick me! Oh, please pick me! My retirement $$ only goes so far and we still have 2 1/2 months of cold weather ahead so I HAVE to pay the utilities!!! (otherwise, it might be a draw as to where I would send my money)!

    ReplyDelete
  75. all 12 -- wowza. hope i get picked.

    ReplyDelete
  76. It must be like Christmas at your house will all those fabulous goodies. Oh to have all 12 colours to play with, just like a child would on Christmas morning, that would be a dream come true! And I promise I'd play and play and play all day with them, discovering different great colour combos, different swoosh effects, spraying water around to my hearts content!
    Thanks to the great Ranger guys, offering this giveaway :) I'm off to MAKE ART LOL ;)

  78. I too always buy a reinker to go with my pads. Besides I have all those special sprays to be created and you need the Distress reinkers! Would love to win! I have all the other colors and they are so lonely, crying, waiting in anticipation of receiving their new 12 brothers and sisters. Thank Ranger for us! Great giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I have to be Perfect Medium's biggest fan right now. You are right Wendy, it's extra sticky. I make and sell paper beads coated with UTEE and it's the BEST embossing ink I have used - and I've tried a few. None of the rest grab the UTEE on the beads.

    Wow! Someone is going to be a lucky bunny with this giveaway. Good luck to everyone.

  84. Wow! Thanks for the fun Wendy - you have a good weekend too!

  86. I checked the distress ink drawer to make sure there is room for all 12 luscious colors, and there is!!! Could also squeeze in the scallop stamp we so love! And there is space on the bookshelf for the new book, 'john henried' of course!

  87. Wow...fantastic giveaway...some one is going to be very happy!!!!!

    Thanks for a chance at some delicious new colors for my inky fingers!!

  88. Oh my goodness. I have a great home for those wonderful inks! This CHA is going to make me so broke so some free ink pads would be amazing! Thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  89. Hi Wendy -

    I agree with you about the reinkers. I always purchase the reinkers when I buy a pad. MaryJo McGraw taught me that years ago. Besides, there are so many neat things you can do with reinkers.
    Love the photo of all those lovely pads lined up like little soldiers ready to march and do their duty! If they come to live with me that will be well loved and used. They can even fraternize with my older soldiers. Older but well loved!
    Have a great weekend!

  95. I noticed yesterday that you hadn't posted your Twitter details, but I've just seen the "follow me" button today, so I'm going to add you right now!
    Mind you, I know that it won't compare to visiting your blog every day - Thats a special treat!!
    Thanks for the opportunity to win the new Distress inks. And thanks for the laughs and the inspiration here too! Even though I've never met you, I can almost 'hear' you through your posts! And I always have a little chuckle when you mention your 'technophobia'!!!

    ReplyDelete
  96. I love all 24 of my existing colors - but they are in need of some new friends to play with. I have in my head some beautiful ways to combine tumbled glass and weathered wood to make a gorgeous sky. All of the greens to create a beautiful meadow like background....so many ideas - but no new colors in my house to play with. Thanks so much for the chance to win these - they are incredible!

    ReplyDelete
  97. OH goodness yes I need all these new colors to go with my lonely older colors....what an awesome giveaway!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  98. I absolutely LOVE these new colors - it would be fantastic to win all twelve of them! What a generous giveaway!

  103. Wow, what an awesome prize! I love the distress inks. I have lots of inks and over the past couple of years the distress line has become my absolute favourite. Aside from stazon and archival I don't think I've touched any of my other brands at all. I may have to donate them to a worthy cause. :)

    ReplyDelete
  104. Oh my goodness, all 12 inks!!! How I would love to welcome them to my art room! I would bring them out everyday!! Pick me please!! stampinbetsy@yahoo.com

    ReplyDelete
  106. What a generous prize! I can only imagine what it would be like to have all of these colors arrive on my doorstep!

    ReplyDelete
  107. Since the Perfect Medium is stickier, do you need a special cleaner to remove it from your stamps? I'm now the proud owner of two of the new sets and am trying (without much conviction) to wait until the Carson show to buy more. Hmm...how good is my willpower?

    Betty

  108. i could give those ink pads a really good home. they'd be well loved and looked after and enjoyed tremendously!

  109. Oh my! Those new colors are really yummy! I only have a few of the old colors but they are my go-to inks when stamping. Just the right colors, transparency and "distressingness".

  110. Inks and Wendy---meant for each other. Thanks for being so generous with your gift of art. it always inspires---judy-gamma

  111. Love those new colors! Please pick me!

    ReplyDelete
  112. Oooh, I'd love to play with those new colours!

    ReplyDelete
  113. How wonderful to see all those goodies. I love reading your answers to questions. I would love the DIs to come to my house.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I just got back from For Keeps Sake loaded down with anything new they had in stock. Maya Road!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love all the new shapes. But I was very sad when they told me, "No distress inks." My friends in Florida are going to buy your new stamps at the show in Tampa/Clearwater for me on Saturday. Maybe I should have them buy the inks. Someday I know the new inks will get to St. Louis!

    ReplyDelete
  115. Pick me! Pick me! It would be the ultimate in irony for me to win, since I've already preordered all the new distress inks! (lol) But I could regift them to a friend. :)

    ReplyDelete
  116. Well I definitely think those ink pads need to live with me! I'm beginning to do some small-scale workshops at my house and it would be so fabulous to have a set for classes! I'm becoming very familiar with the term "kitting" :) In fact, have to go finish some kits for a calendar workshop tomorrow! Happy Inking!!!

  117. ohhh... such a gift it would be for me in Brazil because the stores here do not import Tim Holtz products!!! :(
    I can only dream about all these colors...

  118. Oooooo, pick me! PLEASE! If I don't have to buy the ink, then I can buy some Wendy stamps! *grin*

    ReplyDelete
  119. This is such a great giveaway!!! I can only hope to be the lucky one! Thank you!!!

    ReplyDelete
  120. OoooHHH all the pretty colors. I promise I will give them a good home...

    ReplyDelete
  121. Thanks Justin and Alain! Count me in (although I never win anything-heavy sigh), you could split it up and have three or even four winners of sets, or even one winner for each new color. At least that would increase the odds (but I never win anything...) Major pity party in progress...

    ReplyDelete
  122. Oh, I lovvvve the new colors of the distress inks and they would be a wonderful addition to the ones I already own. I'm always telling my hubby that these inks are my "staple" (who needs food...just give me stamps, ink pads and paper). Can live without most anything but absolutely NOT my distress ink pads...lol!

    ReplyDelete
  123. Oh good lordy!!!!!!!!!!!!I need to win those inks. I'm saving for a super duper mega camera and I have to stay away from the Scrapbook stores for about 8 months to have enough mula$$$$ for the special camera I really want. Lord knows I have enough stash to last me that long but I still want all of the new stuff too. I am trying to talk my LSS into starting a layaway system cause you know when you go in there you WANT IT ALL especially when the new stuff arives. PLEASE PICK ME!!! My husband will be so greatfull he will send you a big KISS!
    Thanks for the opportunity Wendy. By the way when are you coming back to The Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie, TX some of the other Maya Road girls are coming for a big hoopla in October maybe you can join them...learning from you in person is so awesome!

  124. Well, I can't promise these inks will come to the cleanest, tidiest home (Hazel I'm not) or that I'll re-ink every night (too predictable) but I can promise you they will have tons of fun and lots of adventure.

    ReplyDelete
  125. Wendy,
    I would LOVE to be considered for the new set of distresses! I use the inks as often as possible (my all time favorites) & LOVE to educate others about them! So many possibilities.......Everyone is totally impressed & have NEVER been introduced to them! I have such a blast doing this! And they are soooooooooo excited! At least I know I have a chance! Thanks so very much!!!!

  126. WOWZA - what a package to get - distress inks galore - I would have kept touching them and rearranging them on the table - oohhhing and ahhhing the whole time

    ReplyDelete
  127. I'm just getting around to using the distressed colors. I need more colors to practice with. I also need more storage, any ideas?

    ReplyDelete
  128. What wonderful colors. How do you just let them sit there? I would have all of them in my hands just to touch them. Storage ideas? I need them too.......thank you for the great giveaway..KH

    ReplyDelete
  129. After trying most of them out at CHA I would be over the moon to win these babies!!! Wow, someone is going to be really, really, happy when they get this prize. Thank you Ranger and Wendy for the chance to win!

  130. Gosh Wendy 129 comments- that is GREAT! I hope that your ears were burning on Saturday. Ted and I were talking about you and your beautiful stamps and art. I was drooling over some peices that you made for the SA booth at the show, I ordered two of your sets from Ted, I should be getting them anyday now. I cant wait- he spoke so highly of you, with a big grin on his face. He told me about his first meeting with you. I signed up for the class that you will be teaching on Columbia, SC in August I cant wait. Now I am off to look at the Maya Road mini hangers to go with my new stamps! Love you and your art!
    Hugs from the beach!
    Dawn in SC

    Oh BTW- I would LOVE some new ink as well- I havent seen the new colors yet! I am waiting for someone around here to get them. :)

    ReplyDelete
  131. Oh Yes..they may come to live with me. I'll start fixing up their room! What a generous give-a-way.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I am positive they should come to my house to live. They would be greeted by many other Ranger products and live happily ever after with Tim and Wendy's stamps and have many rendevous with each of them. Believe me, you, they will love it here!

    ReplyDelete
  133. Dear Wendy - I am just so "fired up" about Tim's new colors. To me color is an expression of your personality and his new colors will allow me to express my personality even more. I would be so grateful to you all for the opportunity to receive this generous gift. Sincerely, Linda

    ReplyDelete
  134. I promise to give those little honeys a good home! They would be happy playing with all of their older brothers and sisters... Thanks for doing this.

  138. I would love to win these new colors.. I have been eyeing them since I saw them for CHA. At least if I win, I would actually get them a little earlier than anyone else here in Alaska. It seems like we are always a day late/ dollar short up here... Thanks for the opportunity nancy

    ReplyDelete
  139. I want those inks so so bad! Thank you for the chance , but I never win so I will be really surprised ( and happy ) if I do!

    ReplyDelete
  140. OK.. so I'm down here on the bottom of the list, thinking I'll never win those inks! But hey, you don't win if you don't play, so I'm playing...would love to have all those beautiful colors! Love your work and your style.

    ReplyDelete
  152. I voted for your cover on Stampers Sampler if that makes any difference........:):):)
    Love the look of the inks!

    ReplyDelete
  153. I know lust is one of the 7 deadly sins but those new colours make even the saintly turn! I can't wait to have a go with them - my 7 year old keeps asking why I find crafting so distressing! One day I'll explain - but only when it stops being cute!

    ReplyDelete
  154. I can't wait to get my hands on all the yummy new Distress Ink Colours. Would love to be one of the first in Australia to get my hands on them though. Thanks for the inspiration.

    ReplyDelete
  157. First, I have to say love your work on the cover of Stampers' Sampler. This was my choice for the cover. Secondly, would love to make a new home for your giveaway. It takes forever for new product to arrive where I live and I LOVE Ranger products.

    ReplyDelete
  158. The colors should live with me. I will give them a very nice home. They even get a room of their own!
    The colors are just delicious. Hmm - I'm pretty sure that I could figure out a way to use them.
    Thanks for the chance to win.

    omg - who wouldn't think those new colors shouldn't live with them. We are now unburied from the 30+ inches of snow and can get to the mailbox should the mailman actually get to deliver them here. Love your work and all the tips you give. Can you please tell Ted you want to come to Ocean City this spring? We have a great little convention he comes to every year.

  178. Oh I am drooling!! I LOVE the look of all those new colors. I want you to know those pretties would have an excellent home with me. I promise to use my distress inks almost daily. I will keep a watchful eye on their needs and will feed and water at the first sight of a need. I will provide creative interaction with other Ranger products and stimulation of some sparkling, glimmering embellments. And finally they will have a very special home especially decorated to keep with the style their sister distress inks have been accumstom to enjoying. Indeed they will have a good life here!
