Ranger's NEW Embossing Powders

I have to say I am beyond humbled....

I opened my Instagram page the other day and noticed a message.
So, I popped over to see what it was about....
and there was a message from Kelly from Ranger Ink. WHAT!?!?!

Ranger Speckle Embossing Powder using ArtFoamies Stamps and Emboss it ink pad

YOU SEE....

Ranger Ink has released NEW Speckle Embossing Powders! and they asked if I'd be interested in playing with their new product.
NOW...that was a silly question! OF COURSE!

So, I PATIENTLY waited for my box to arrive....
When my box arrived, I headed right for my studio to try them out.

I began by using Ranger Emboss It ~ Grey Tinted Embossing Ink Pad.

with ArtFoamies ~ Polka Dot stamp
I wanted to see how the product worked and
what it looked like when finished.

I tried several different ways to apply the Speckle Embossing Powder which is
a blend of color and textured granules.

Pouring onto paper with stamped image.

I found that the color covered the embossing ink making it a bit difficult for the speckles to adhere.
Scooping out Embossing Powder with my palette knife and sprinkling onto stamped image.

This way worked better but I was still getting toooo much color and not enough speckle.
Lastly, using very small quantities of the Speckled Embossing Powder, specifically placed.

By far my FAVORITE way. It Allowed the "speckles" to adhere better.

Once I had determined how to apply the Embossing Powder....what next?!?

First, I wanted to dimmish the glossy look. So, I applied a layer of

Ranger ~ Tim Holtz Distress Collage Medium ~ Vintage
which worked WONDERFULLY!

I then pulled out more ArtFoamies Stamps
and let the stamping/embossing/layering begin.
Layer upon Layer of FABULOUS color.

NOW....what to do with my new "Embossed Paper".

I decided to cut it into ATC's 2.5 x 3.5 to use for cards.

I then pulled out one of my UmWowStudio ~ Small Ivy.

Now, I need a green color so I thought I'd try mixing
BlueBerry and Lemon Drop

I used Ranger ~ Emboss It Dabber ~ Clear
on the chippie and covered it with my mixture.

I have to say....I LOVE how it came out.

I even added a bit of Emboss It Dabber ~ Clear

to the edges of the flower and Embossing Powder ~ Cotton Candy

I finished off my card with a stamped sentiment by

Yvonne Blair Designs and Impression Obsession

Thank you for stopping by,

Hoppin' into Spring with Tombow.....

Hello and Welcome to the Tombow USA and Die-Namites Blog Hop!

You probably got here from Latrice Murphy’s blog
but if you stumbled across my blog go the Tombow USA Blog to start!

Here is my creation....

I am going to tell you....
this was my first time playing with Tombow's Liquid Adhesive!

AND I LIKED THEM!!

I began by painting a 5 x 7 Art Canvas with Perfect Paints.

I then applied Tombow's MONO Multi Liquid Glue

through the Crafter's Workshop's ~ Tattting Stencil

with a sponge, applied some Vintage Glitter Glass

OH THE LOVE!!!

HOW PRETTY!!

With my background complete, I let the DIE~CUTTING begin!!

Using Die~Namites Dies and CCB Kraft Paper, I cut several

Knobby Branch

and Die~Namites Dies ~ Small Ivy and CCB Tweed ~ White,

I cut (3)...

Lastly, I die~cut (1) Die~Namites Dies ~ Summer Branch

from CCB Linen ~ White

Do you see the super cute white flowers??

They were created by cutting many layers of CCB TissueStock

with Die~Namites Dies ~ Daisy Branch

and applying a dab of Tombow's Mono ~ Multi Liquid Glue

to hold the layers together. Using a fan brush, I applied more

Mono ~ Multi Liquid Glue to the edges of my newly made flowers

and sprinkled on a bit of Vintage Glitter Glass.

I loved the look SOOO much I repeated the process

on the Petaloo Botanica Bloom.

I adhered all my pieces parts to the background

using MONO Aqua Liquid Glue.

I hope you enjoyed my creation and

experiment with Tombo's Mono Adhesives.

The Tombow Xtreme Permanent Adhesive, NEW Tombow Foam Tape,
NEW Tombow Adhesive Dots and the Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue.

Playin' with 'tovers....

Recently, I've been working like crazy on crafty projects....one day while cleaning up my crafting space, I came across a BUNCH of 'tovers..... you know the "pieces parts" that get pulled out or created that NEVER make it onto your creation. That is the basis for my canvas.

I began with a Canvas Corp Brands Natural Canvas,
some OHHH SOOO FUN new products I've been working with....PERFECT PAINTS!
and one of my FAVORITE Templates ~ Garden Gate ~ TCW382.
TCW-1108-2

I applied the texture mediums through the template, when dry I applied a bit of Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Crushed Shells.

How AMAZING is the stenciled image! Just PERFECT for all my 'tovers!

So what do you do with your 'tovers??
