Happy to reveal my Winter 2015 release with Ranger!

Hooray, the day has come! I am happy to share my Winter 2015 release with Ranger.

Handwritten Heart Collage

I did this set with cardmakers in mind. How easy is it to stamp the heart, then choose a phrase to go inside? Voila, instant card! I'm sort of obsessed with the heart, though…I've even been using it on journal pages. What an easy and fun focal point!

 

Positive Women

I know, I already have two sets of women stamps, but I couldn't resist designing just one more. I love these gals and their positive message. I added the grungy polka dot for great backgrounds and patterns.

Scribby Birds on Branches

To accompany the popular Scribbly Birds set, I present to you Scribbly Birds on Branches. More adorable birds to use! Yay!

 

Scribbly Flowers

I really wanted to do draw a flower set. Great for cards, backgrounds, and focal points, these designs will look fab stamped in colored ink, or stamped in black and then painted in with my acrylic paint (or your fave markers, pencils, etc).

 

Silhoutted Women

I lifted these silhouettes right off my journal pages. I love a silhouetted image, I think they are powerful because they are both a presense and an absence. Lots of possibilities with these!

 

Woodcuts

This set is based on my custom foam stamps that I often teach and make in class. I love the bold shapes, they are perfect on colorful pages.

 

Masks

The mask sets are Graphic Shapes, Insects, and Organic Shapes. Can you say OBSESSION??? I am in love with all of these. The insects match my stamp set, Scribbly Insects, too. Yay! Remeber with my mask sets, you get both the mask AND the stencil. Two forms of awesomesauce.

 

Stencils

For stencils, I present to you Alphabetic, Daisies, Essentials, Halves, Pebble Heart, and Wheels. I know there are a gazillion stencils out there, but I always design stencils that I want to use in my art. I missed the old standard alphabet stencils from the office supply store, so I did Alphabetic. I love Daisies, it's a lovely background. And I did Essentials because I use all of those basic shapes constantly! See if you can spot the stencils in all of the samples I posted above!

 

Next up….new paint, mediums, and a FINE LINE TIP!!!! AAAH!

I get asked all the time when I will come out with new paint colors. Trust me, new colors are coming eventually! For this show, we're introducing Black, Gilt (gold), Sterling (silver), and Penny (copper). Metallics are hot, hot, hot, and I wanted in on the action with my gorgeous, heavy-body paint. You will love the colors, they introduce a real sense of glamor to your art!

Glazing medium is a great addition. When you add it to my paint, it will thin my paint down without making the colors break, and it extends the open time of the paint so you can easily build and blend glazed layers. The medium + paint = awesome over gesso and texture paste!

AND…the fine line tip is here!

I am so excited about this. The tip is a needle that will screw right onto your Dina Wakley Medium paint tube. The needle has a wide gauge so it's not hard to squeeze the heavy-body paint through it. YESSSSSS. Now you can doodle, draw, write with my acrylic right onto your work! The paint comes out dimensional and is just awesome. I will be demoing this at the show, can't wait to show you how it works.

Sooooo, that's the scoop!!! Thanks for letting me share. I'll share more samples and demos with you in the coming weeks.

Art forever, housework never!
