If you post anonymously, please include your first name & e-mail address in your post! We look forward to hearing from lots of you :) The bigger the response, the sooner we'll have a giveaway like this again!

Canadian Blog Hop! (Celebrate World Card Making Day!)

Happy World Card Making Day! At Creative Accents we're celebrating the day with a Card Crop in our studio- it will be fun to see how many cards get completed today, but regardless of numbers it's sure to be a great day!

So, I'm sharing it with you again here today- perhaps if you see it with a link to Ranger on Pinterest sometime, you'll share this new link! I used a simple torn paper masking technique to create stripes of blended color. You can see from the card samples some colors that pair together nicely, I like using yellow as combines with so many colors beautifully! To start, pre-cut a white layer of cardstock and tape torn copy paper over it onto your craft sheet, leaving a space for your ink to be applied. Using an ink applicator tool, start with your lightest colors and layer
