Hi there, crafty friends! It’s Cheiron Brandon and I am thrilled to be back on the Ranger Projects page today sharing a mini slimline card using the latest Distress Color, Uncharted Mariner, and the newest Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamps. I love the look of these stamps with newsprint, and instead of stamping them in black today, I stamped and embossed them in the beautiful blue shade of Uncharted Mariner for a bit of a vintage look.

Dry with Heat Tool and then splatter the panel with Gilded Foundry Wax (do this by mixing the wax with a bit of isopropyl alcohol and using a paintbrush to splatter). Be sure to set the splatter by embossing with a Heat Tool.
