Ranger Melt Art Mania!

Howdy Peeps!!!

Thank you for poppin in today 

to join me and Ranger as we continue

to explore Melt Art....

But before we go any further....

If I had a bucket list....this would be right up

there at the top of my list....

the HONOR and PRIVILEGE  to 

design for Ranger/Tim Holtz.

When I opened my email around 2ish am
to find an email from Tim asking me

to join such an FANTABULOUS group
of SUPER CREATIVE people...

can I tell you....

I never went back to sleep that night...

The wheels began to turn!!

Now, if you know ANYTHING about me....

you know, I am all about flowers....

so I decided I would pull out my Melt Pot,

some Clear Beeswax and a few Petaloo Flowers....

and let the games begin!!

Here is what I came up with.....

The Wild Blossoms Darjeeling Collection by Petaloo

I used......began as white flowers.

I colored them with a Wild Honey Distress Reinker Mixture,

a dab or Fired Brick Distress Re~inker ink,

a spritz of Dylusions ~ Ink Spray....

and dipped 'em in a pan of Clear ~ Melt Art Beeswax....

VOILA!

I created a video tutorial on how I colored the flowers 

and about the "dippin" process.

Hope you enjoy it!!!!

NOW DON'T RUN AWAY TOOO QUICK!!

There is a give~away involved here!!

This is how it works.....

 Leave a comment on my blog....

A TAG!!!
Well I'd be more than HAPPY to make one!!!

I started rootin' through my stash...to pull out an OLDIE but GOODIE!!
Nature Grungeboard.

I had a "wonder if this will work" moment.

Colored the grungeboard pieces with various Distress Stains
then I lathered on some Beeswax that had
been melted in a Melt Pot with Project Pan.
Using my Heat It Tool.....I melted the wax to infuse it
into the grungeboard.
When cooled I brushed on various Perfect Pearls
(and it just sticks!!)

Love it when a THOUGHT works!!

For the tag.....
I stamped various images with Archival Inks.
Using my Ink Blending Tool, I covered the tag with various Distress Inks.
With that heated Beeswax....I painted it on the tag.
Infused it into the card with my Heat It Tool.

Are you READY TO MAKE A TAG!!???!?!
