1. Tim Holtz Distress Ink Villainous Potion
Tim Holtz and Ranger Ink have done it again by adding yet another beautiful new color to the Distress Ink Line. You are going to love Villainous Potion from Tim Holtz and Ranger Ink so much, you'll definitely need all the products in this Villainous Potion Distress Ink Bundle!

2. Hero Arts Patina Effect Kit
Everyone is going to have a new favorite technique with this Patina Effect Kit from Hero Arts. This kit includes a small plastic jar of brass embossing powder and a turquoise Hero Hues pigment ink cube. These two products will create magic when used on your projects. To use, first apply the turquoise pigment ink to your paper. Then sprinkle the brass embossing powder onto the inked area, leaving some areas without powder if desired. Tap the excess powder off. Aim a heat tool 3 to 4 inches away from the design for 10 to 30 seconds to watch the powder magically melt and turn metallic.
I use this ink on just about every project I make. On these cards, I used it to stamp the images so I could water color them. You can check out all the details on my Christmas Card Head Start 2021 Watercolor Stamped Background blog post.
