Technique Using Ranger Perfect Medium and Perfect Pearls
Create gorgeous stamped images with Ranger's Perfect Medium and Perfect Pearls. I created this card using Jillibean Soup's Gazpacho Soup, Accucut die cut card base (Bazzill cardstock), Perfect Medium, stamps, and Perfect pearls in two different colors.
 |
| Perfect Pearls in two different colors! |
Begin by die cutting a card base with an Accucut die cutting machine (or similar die machine). Adhere Jillibean soup Gazpacho soup papers to inside base. Use Ranger Distress ink and blending tool around scalloped edges of the card front. Cut striped paper for card top using the Tim Holtz distress tool around the paper's edge, ink if desired. Use stamps on Ranger Perfect Medium ink pad and stamp on brown cardstock (the Perfect Pearls really shines through when used on darker cardstock colors). Use fluffy Perfect Pearls brush to apply Perfect Pearls in first color (spider is Kiwi). Stamp second image and use second Perfect Pearls to dust over the second image (floral is Blush). Adhere stamped image to card front. Use Ranger Liquid Pearls in four courners of cardstock to "anchor" the image to card front. Also, I used a silver metalic pen to outline the cardstock just a bit. Finally, add a Jillibean "Soup Label" for the card's greeting.
Items Used:
Ranger Perfect Medium ink & Perfect Pearls
Ranger Liquid Pearls

Sassy Lil' Sketches Week 3 Reveal
Week 3 Sketch is:
And here's my take on it: I used Graphic 45 Christmas papers, Ranger stickles, black pen for faux stiching, pop dots for dimension.
Sadly, the gals at Sassy Lil' Sketchs have decided to shut their site down after three years so this will be my last reveal/posts for their website. I appreciate the opportunity they gave me and wish them both the greatest of futures in their scrapbooking and personal lives. Thanks ladies!

Sassy Lil' Sketches Week 1 Reveal (Ramped up Schedule this month!)
Week 1 Card Sketch revealed: 
And here's my take on it: I used black cardstock for the base, Canvas Corp kraft printed cardstock for the printed paper and the greeting. Used an EK Success corner punch and Queen & Co. bling along with May Arts wide gingham ribbon in cream/peach.
I love the simple elegance this sketch offers. Pretty and grown-up at the same time.
