a TOTAL BLAST...
it's long hours & lots of prep...
but it's SO MUCH FUN
to see it all come together & to
FINALLY share
what's been top secret for so long...
I thought I'd start showing a few of my CHA pieces...
first is my canvas for
the Ranger designer challenge...
we were each given a canvas & some of Dina's paints, a stencil & a stamp set...
I used the paints to create the background for both canvases...
I used MULTIPLE paint layers...
like about 10!
I learned that paints are very forgiving...
phew...that was a good thing!
I used the paints on the birds which were stamped on my clearly for art that I covered with newsprint...
using my FAV glue n seal...
plain newsprint is my new fav...
goodbye vintage dictionary text...
hello newsprint...
it's very inexpensive & it takes inks very well...
I used her paints on my art parts...
that's the giant ferns you see below...
I used them thru stencils &
I also stamped with the paints...
I tapped tim's ruler into the paint to create the partial frame you see at the top, near the birds...
these paints were a new medium for me,
but I must admit...
it was a fun project...
it was absolutely frigid here
when I was working on this canvas...
which just might have inspired the tropical colors...
here's a better look at the bird on the left...
I applied the paints with my fingers to blend them...
and here's the cutie on the right...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE
it was just what I needed to tie it all together...
it's a little washed out in this photo...
oops...
my new "mat minis" were a HUGE hit with cardmakers & you'll see that they are
perfect for tags too...
I'm thrilled that you liked them!
yes...we will be doing more in the future!
yes...I KNOW you want flowers...
stay tuned..
I made this little sample board to show 10 quick ways to alter them...
I used the mat mini vase for the samples...
stamped with the stripes &
the new tiles background...
it's housing the new carnation SiSi...
I LOVE the sentiment...
love the stripes border...
that's my new buttercup archival ink on the skinny canvas on the right...
the polka dots were
stenciled with dandelion archival...
buttercup & dandelion coordinate well!
here's a better look at the dimension on the carnation...
it's inked with red geranium archival ink...
this is plan A...
stamp it several times to layer it...
for plan B...
stamp, then stencil color over the stamped image &
use it completely flat on a card or tag...
she's so fun to change up,
by just changing the flower in her hair...
add wings, or a hat...
LOTS of possibilities...
that flower is the
this time I used the hosta stamp, but chopped off the flower & used only the leaves...
you'll see those leaves on many of my samples...
her wings are metal wings, embossed with the new tea rose embossing powder...
and that cute little flower center is tim's new heirloom rose...
it's white right from the package...
I changed it up by adding tea rose archival ink...
next...
here's the latest shipping update...
my inks & embossing powders ship from
Ranger to stores on January 26th...
my stamps, stencils, SiSi's, mat minis, faux graniteware starter kit, the magic mat board refill kit, & new large 8 ounce white embossing paste start shipping from Stampers Anonymous
to stores on February 16th...
keep in mind that the first orders received will be the first to ship...
here's some cool links...
I thought I'd share links to some videos
filmed by ScrapTime,
so you can see what we do at CHA...
THANKS to Christine & Mark

HEY!!!

This is my favorite release of yours thus far. The colors are fabulous. I hope I win but I am getting them anyway.
