as I am about the new colors of Ranger Distress STAINS?
Hey everyone, Karen here taking over the blog again. If you know me you know that I can't wait to get my hands on all these new colors! And they are all in stock here at Scrapbook Paradise!!!! I've already put my order in with Laura and they are headed my way.
Last weekend I spent a day playing with the colors I have and I just had a blast. Here are some of the cards I created using the stains.
The colors I used for these two were Wild Honey, Broken China and Peeled Paint. On the second one I stamped with embossing ink and covered it with "Copper" Perfect Pearls (remember if you use perfect pearl or embossing powder on your stained pieces it must be dry or heat set before you apply the powder).

Last weekend I spent a day playing with the colors I have and I just had a blast. Here are some of the cards I created using the stains.
For these 2 cards I stamped a piece of white cardstock (the smooth side of Bazzill) with Ranger Embossing Ink, covered it with Opaque White Embossing Powder and heat set. The stamp I used is a newer Hero Arts, Flower Dot Background CG330 (one of my new favorites!)
Next I put a generous amount of distress stain onto my craft sheet and laid my cardstock into it. For the first card I used Spun Sugar and added in a little "Pearl" Perfect Pearls into the stain. (I wish you could see the shine better in the photo.) Once dry I die cut the shape using Spellbinders Label #8.
The second card was done in the same way using Antique Linen distress stain. For this one I added in some "Sunflower" Perfect Pearl for some added shimmer. Once dry I die cut it using the Tim Holtz Tattered Floral Die.
The technique I used on these last two is like the "wrinkle free distress" technique. For this you just put several colors of stain down onto the craft sheet and lay your cardstock into it, drag it through a bit until you get the desired effect. Once it's dry you can stamp on it, die cut it, journal on it ect.
Now that the stains come in all 36 colors PLUS Pickett Fence the possibilities are endless!
These are just a couple of ways to use Distress Stain, how will you use yours?
