I'm proud to be part of their design team and to c...

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 ...
