Ranger Ink | Simon Hurley Create – So Glad I Spotted You

Hi friends! I’m back with more inspiration featuring the Simon Hurley Create release with Ranger Ink. Today I’m using more Lunar Paste but doubling up on colors using the same stencil.

When I do things like this, I spread the first color out and scrape as much excess off as I can, then I come in with the second color mixing them a little where they meet. It’s so cool if they are complimentary or opposing. They don’t mix into a new color but meld and swirl without combining.

After stenciling, I set the panel aside to dry and stamped a fun giraffe from the Wild About You set. I used brown for my base and layered yellow, orange and brown for my accent colors. It was a complete experiment as I’d never done that before. I just inked the yellow, stamped, then inked the orange and dabbed it away so it was a light layer, stamped and repeated that thought with light brown. I love the color it made!

After die cutting the giraffe, I cut a circle from vellum and heat embossed my sentiment. Then I trimmed the stenciled panel to 4×5.25 and popped it up on a white card base. I added foam to the giraffe but thought he needed grounding so I added a 1/4″ strip of black which balances things nicely.

Last, I trimmed the top off the vellum circle and then hid glue behind the words and glued it in place.

Ranger Ink | Simon Hurley Create – Finger Paint with Lunar Paste

Happy Wednesday everyone! We’re halfway through the week and I wanted to pop in with an extra card today featuring more of the new release from Ranger Ink and Simon Hurley Create!

For this background, I literally just finger painted with three of the new Lunar Paste colors for a fun abstract background. Once the panel was dry, I chose my sentiment and heat embossed it along the bottom of the panel.

Next I stamped the awesome leopard in the Wild About You set with Stellar Inks – black widow and high tide. I used the coordinating die to cut him out and popped him up with foam squares.

I glued the panel to a card base and finished things off with a scattering of teal enamel dots from my stash. I love these new Lunar Pastes on black! They pop so well!

Ranger Ink | Simon Hurley Create – Release Day Fun

Hi everyone! I’m popping back in to celebrate the Ranger Ink | Simon Hurley Create release today! It’s got a fun array of stamps, dies and stencils, along with new pastes for some messy fun!

Today I have two cards to share because my background gave me a two-for-one and I couldn’t resist!

After I received my package of all the goodness in this release, I spent and evening getting messy creating different backgrounds, playing around with the different mediums and stencils. One of the backgrounds I created was this fun new Astro Paste called black widow. It’s a fabulous black glitter and was screaming to be used on this awesome Zebra stencil.

Once the background was dry, I just chopped it in half at an angle. Then I chose a couple of fun colors to stamp my zebra accents in and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. This one is prom queen from the Stellar Ink collection.

For my pink background, I drug the pad directly on the card front and splattered it with water for instant color and fun texture. Then to assemble, I popped the zebra panel up with foam tape and added a black strip across the seam. I added the zebra with half foam squares and half liquid glue so it lays flat. Then I stamped my sentiment using my MISTI.

Same vibe for my 100% Juice version but this time, I used a blending brush to ink up the card front for a softer, ombre look. I also splattered it with water. Stellar Ink is my favorite for this reaction. It’s so severe and looks amazing!
