This month's "Patina Effect" featured on Tim's April edition of the 12 tags of 2013 is just stunning. A number of us here at Ranger were inspired to incorporate this technique into our own projects this month. Take a look then be sure to head back over to Tim's Blog to submit your own projects!
1st Birthday Card by Kelly Kronowski |
|
|
Kelly was inspired to make this yummy and oh so sweet birthday card. To make her cupcake image really pop she stamped the image first with Jet Black ink, then colored the various portions using Distress Paint over the entire image, let it dry, stamped the image in black over top again, and then cut it out. |

Dragonfly Keepsake Box by Teresa Natividad |
|
|
You might have noticed that earlier this month Teresa shared some projects where she upcycled some canisters and bottles into fun storage containers. Well, she's at it again. This time she recycled an empty 1 x 3 Memory Glass container to make this clever Dragonfly Keepsake Box. What a great presentation for a jewelry gift or other small item. |

Love my Pet Frame by Susan Baldwin |
|
|
Susan tried Tim's technique on a wood frame. We love how the subtle effect on the wood background makes the embellishments stand out. |

Colleen Verardi |
|
|
When we saw Colleen's project it made us ask, "How did you do that?" We thought you might be thinking the same, so here goes. She masked off various portions of the mirror with a masking tape and a butterfly mask, used Tim's Distress Paints to make the background, let it dry. Next, she stamped the images and put a thick layer of Rock Candy Crackle over top; let it dry. Then finished off by inking over the top and adding some ephemera and embellishments. |
