Ranger Ink Bonus Cards

I've really enjoyed working with Ranger Ink this year. Usually my assignments are to make a certain type of card featuring a certain type of product.  If you've been following me for a while you know that I generally don't have a specific idea in mind when I am making cards, I experiment and try a few things before I decide on a direction.  Because of that, I have a bunch of card panels in my stash that were ideas that I created for assignments, but ended up setting aside to go in a different direction, which is what happened with these tow panels

Both of these card front panels were super easy to create.  For the one on the left, I simply randomly swiped Archival mini inkpads (Vivid Chartreuse and Library Green) down my card front.  For the panel on the right, I used the rectangular outline stamp from the Curiosity Shop set, and randomly stamped it with those same ink colors to create a patterned paper.

For the swiped panel, I just adhered it to my card base (Wendy Vecchi Perfect Cardstock Card), and then added the Simon Says Stamp Fancy Thanks cut from black cardstock and white for the shadow piece.  This was popped up with foam tape.

A sentiment strip from the Reverse Lucky Sentiment Strips was also popped with foam tape to finish the look.

For the second card, I adhered the panel to a green cardstock base, and then stamped the sentiment, from Simon's Spring in My Step set onto white cardstock.

This was die cut using the coordinating dies.  I die cut a second shape to layer with sentiment, slightly offset.  The completed piece was popped up with foam tape.

Even if I hadn't had the background panels created already, these would have been quick makes, but getting to use the previously created panels was a bonus.

Hope your week is going well!
