is the BOMB!!!!!!!
I told you I LOVE it...
here's why...
- it takes a lot of abuse
- all Tim's products work perfectly on it
- it takes a lot of abuse
- all Ranger products work well on it
- it takes a lot of abuse
- the surface is AWESOME for stamping..nice CRISP images
- it takes a lot of abuse
- it does not warp
- it takes a lot of abuse
- it doesn't get those ugly little pills
- it takes a lot of abuse...
- it's an awesome matte finish...
- in addition to great pages, it's perfect for other stuff...
- see below!
I have plenty to use myself...
plenty for classes & some to SHARE...
300 lovely sheets...
and how did you guess?I LOVE LOVE LOVE tim's new water brushes...
here's that link...
so I did exactly the same process to make these 2 journal pages,
what I LOVE most about this paper...
no warping...I flooded these pages with water,
until I had "poodles"...
and I did this about 6 times...
still NO WARPING...
the surface is still perfectly smooth...
and you can see...the pages are 98% flat...
I used these distress stain colors...
faded jeans, mustard seed, scattered straw & brushed corduroy...
aquamarine archival is my new "go to" favorite for background stamping...
the polka dots are a portion of my border stamp...
the random alphabet is a stencil from Lady Dy...
so are the bleached out dots...
the little brushed corduroy specks were done with the water brush...
I talked about that a few days ago...
here's how the 2 pages started...
but they both didn't end up as pages...
I used the one on the left to cover
2 of my new art parts flowers...
then added 2 of my Blossom Bucket pieces for the center...
and a stem...
to make this...
and the right hand page ended up like this...
they are FUN!
the pencil stamp made a border...
Mr Tophat is an art part...
the journey stencil is an oldie but a goodie from Stampers Anonymous...
so the moral of the story...
is that Ranger's specialty stamping paper really is the bomb...
and if you read this far...
you deserve a chance to win some...
just leave a comment...
we'll choose a random winner @ 7AM on Monday...
and I'll share some with my blog friends...
one more thing before I head back to work on new stamps...
I KNOW...CHA is only 4 1/2 months away & my travel schedule is hectic...
so I gotta get going...
YIKES!
anyway...
do you remember that I have gift/home decor "items" coming out with Blossom Bucket in July?
OMG!!!!!!!! yes RED & ALL CAPS!
I got to see the "prototypes" the other day & I about fell off my chair...
I. CAN. NOT. WAIT. TO SHARE. THEM. WITH. YOU.
PHEW...we originally planned on 12...
but I've been busy & I *think* there are about 40 different "items" coming...
I'm over the moon EXCITED...
I hope YOU have a wonderful weekend...
get out your supplies &...
make art!
wendy
