All Good Things


I've been wanting to try the Ranger Distress Speciality Stamping paper for a while now.  The smoothness reminds me very much of Yupo.  I decided to use the Versamark ghosting technique shown over at the current CAS Mix Up (they're having a DT call!) to really test its uses and limits.

I stamped the tree ring in Versamark then sprinkled some Brushos and spritzed with water. Hold my breath time--could this paper handle spritzing?   Yes?   Would it warp?  Barely!  Dried in a hot minute too! I absolutely adore the results. Now the resist of the tree ring wasn't as defined as I had hoped with the Brushos, but, wow, it really showed up when I stamped the main image.   And without having to heat emboss--brilliant!


As you can see I was also very much inspired by SIP #69 Fall in Love and Waffle Flower Photo Inspiration October 2016 (fall colors, nature, wheat).
