{Step-by-Step} Creating Mists Using the newest Ranger Distress Inks:Squeezed Lemonade, Peacock Feathers, Shaded Lilac!
By, Shelly Maxwell
Step 1: Collect your supplies. You'll need some of the Ranger Inks, Ranger Mini-Misters, and Ranger Perfect Pearls (I used blush and Kiwi). Use a fine point Sharpie Marker to label each of your Misters with the Ink's name. You'll also need some coffee filters, white ribbon, felt, etc. to ink and a heat tool.
Step 2: Open your first Mister, add one dropper full of ink into the Mister.
Step 3: Carefully open one of the Perfect Pearls containers and use a small scoop or tiny spoon to place a smidgen of the Perfect Pearls into the Mister with the ink.
Step 4: Add enough tap water to about 1/4" down from the top of the Mister. Place the cap on the Mister and shake vigorously to mix the ink, pearls, and water.
Step 5: Use coffee filters and a die to cut several different sized flowers. (Ranger's Tattered Florals works great for this).
Step 6: Lay about 1/3 of the die cut flowers onto a covered surface and spray with one of the mists you just created. Use a paper towel to sop up excess overs pray, then dry the flowers using a heat tool. Next, lay down the second 1/3 of die cut flowers, spray with the second color, and so on until all flowers have been sprayed, colored, and dried.
Create beautiful flowers, ribbons, more! Use your new creations on home decor items (like the wreath pictured here), layouts and cards. Have fun creating!!
I used a 12x12 brown paper bag cut into 2" strips, sprayed with ink, dried, and then wrapped around the wreath. I used sticky dots to adhere the coffee filter and Prima inked flowers, inked silk bow, and punched "Welcome" sign.
