of my signature archival colors...





here's the official press release...
and THE BEST NEWS...

believe me...
I am OVER THE MOON 
E X C I T E D 
about these powders...
YES...ALL CAPS!

buckle up!
I don't want you to fall off your chair...

I'm so excited, 
that I actually filmed a video 
to show them to you!

ps...
you'll even hear Rick!

please ignore the glare, 
my studio has skylights, 
which I LOVE, 
but they make photos & videos a challenge...

if you click this link, 
you'll be magically transported to 



here are some photos of the projects I showed in the video...

you'll see how to create custom embellishments,
 like this cute cardinal...


and how to use embossing powders
 to alter many surfaces...

I REALLY REALLY 
REALLY LOVE 
the embossing powders 


here's an example...
it starts as this...


 with some embossing powders, CFA & die cuts, 
it gets transformed to this...

look closely & you'll see that remnant rubs work well on embossing powders...

archival inks are GREAT for stamping over embossing powders...

that's the watering can embossing powder on the spoon...
cornflower blue on the flower & metal base...
leaf green on the leaves & red geranium on the mug...


 the next photo shows the embossing powders used on clearly for art blackout, with the new faux graniteware technique...

the video shows the ingredients you'll need to try this technique...

and I will always love the tattered florals die...
BUT...
be warned...

this is ADDICTING...




this next piece was super fun...
you'll see fern green embossing powder
I used tree branch powder to create the flower, to alter the custom fastener 
for the flower center & a leaf...
orange blossom embossing powder 
customizes the ornate frame
I used it on the leaf on the right...


and the last...



THANKS to everyone at RANGER!

so HAPPY...

embossing powders are awesome 
for cards,
