Stamps: Just Rite Stampers pre-inked Stamps

Ink: Black, Archival

Other: Distressed Crackle Paint by Ranger (Tim Holtz),

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Distressed Embossing by Ranger (Tim Holtz- Faux Stitching)

Ranger products are my favorite to use while creating ATC's, they are easy to work with and add such a variety of texture to whatever you are creating! I also used 2 of my favy techniques- ripping & dry embossing.

Happy Scrappin'!

xoxo
