I know that you can't see me...
but I'm wiggling around & giddy...
FINALLY it's time...
I'm soooo very excited to introduce
my 3 new archival inks
and
3 new coordinating embossing powders...
I'll start with
the "official" Ranger press release...
now here's a closer look
at the beautiful new inks...
at the beautiful new inks...
as you know,
flowers are MY THING...
flowers are MY THING...
so I chose these colors
based on some really pretty flowers...
in honor of my grandmother's favorite flower...
first up is
pink peony...
hey...I can hear you...
you know who you are!
lol...
hahaha...
hahaha...
you win!
for those of you who have asked me for
a pink ink
for a
L O N G T I M E...
for a
L O N G T I M E...
a V E R Y
L O N G
TIME
and I said NO...
this one is for YOU!
you'll see the pink peony ink
used on the mat mini flower pot...
the coordinating pink peony embossing powder
on the art parts star and the pink peony embossing powder, mixed with frosted crystal embossing powder on the sun...
you can see that the star is shiny & the sun has more texture and develops a darker color when frosted crystal is mixed in...
mixing frosted crystal with your embossing powders doubles your options...
it doubles both your color options and
surface effects/texture too...
(shiny or more matte with cool texture)
(shiny or more matte with cool texture)
I like the 50/50 ratio...
half frosted crystal, mixed with an equal amount of any of the colored embossing powders...
ok...I will admit...
pink peony is beautiful!
I think my Mimi would be very happy...
I have fond memories of picking flowers at my grandparent's home...
my grandfather would take me outside to choose which to pick, while she made us dinner...
I have always LOVED flowers &
I would run to bring them to her...
I remember her shaking the ants off the peonies before we could bring them in the house...

ants must like peonies?
note to self...google that...
next is
tiger lily...
it's a great vibrant orange...
again, I used the tiger lily ink
on the mat mini flower pot,
the embossing powder (right from the jar)
is on the star and
the sun is frosted crystal
mixed with tiger lily...
the color is summery & so pretty...
looks exactly like a tiger lily!
thanks to Jim...our Ranger chemist!
he nailed it!
I know I shouldn't have a favorite...
BUT...
take a closer look at
violet...
it's absolutely GORGEOUS...
I used violet archival ink on the flower pot, violet embossing powder on the star & the frosted crystal mixed with violet embossing powder on the sun...
can you see why I LOVE violet?
I thought it would be fun to show the same flower used with each of the 3 new colors...
I chose my favorite hydrangea SiSi...
and for each sample I used the coordinating embossing powder on the little heart...
it's cut from black magic mat board...
here's pink peony...
and tiger lily is next...
and violet...
keep in mind that you can vary the intensity of the color by varying the amount of ink you apply...
a little ink will give a softer, lighter color...
more ink gives a deeper darker color...
I like to use both shades on a project...
I kept the violet pretty light for the top layers...
you'll see that the bottom layer is darker...
it's peeking out at the top...
these 3 new colors fit right into my archival palette...
and work with all the current colors...
orange blossom archival is PERFECT for shading when used with tiger lily...
with tiger lily...
both fern green and leaf green
work with all 3 new colors...
watering can, hydrangea & tree branch are wonderful basics and work with all the colors...
they are my most used "GO*TO" colors for background stamping & stenciling...
I've been using carnation red
to lightly shade the pink peony...
and...I LOVE IT!
I used the rose SiSi with pink peony...
it looks fab with watering can archival and awesome with sky blue & tree branch archivals...
you'll see that jet black
really makes pink peony pop!
I used the oval spotlight frame and
using the mask/stencil combo allows stamping/stenciling in each area & makes it SUPER simple...
did you notice that I used the
vertically inside &
horizontally outside the oval?
the mini butterfly is a new tim die, cut from black magic mat board...
and then there's violet...
it looks great with hydrangea, forget-me-not, sky blue and tiger lily...
I know nothing about the color wheel...
I totally don't get it...
but I'm in LOVE with this red geranium, violet, leaf green, dandelion combo...
YIKES...
I guess I really am addicted
to the hydrangea SiSi...
and the mat mini flower pots too...
here's another sample tag, using both...
violet used with sky blue,
yes please...
combined with these 3 new colors,
give us so many new color combos to play with...
I have had a blast making samples...
and I haven't even shared the fun I had,
using these 3 new colors
for making backgrounds
with rubbing alcohol yet...
they are awesome...
and wait til you see these colors used with
