You’ll also want to take note that the Ranger Adironack Pigment Pads and Reinkers are still on sale. If you look closely, you’ll see that if you purchase $25 in product, you’ll receive a 10% rebate on your entire order. Not only that, but for every $100 spent, you’ll receive an additional 10% off your total.
Here’s an altered altoid tin, specially created for displaying those spooky and fun Fall projects on any worthy refrigerator! Prism paper was stamped with the spider web, and distressed with Ranger Distress inks. The bat sparkles a bit with clear Spica glitter pen.
Ranger Alcohol Inks were used to alter the metal tin. Simply dab on the alcohol inks with the Ranger dauber felt pad!

Inside the tin we find refrigerator magnets! Because the flat marbles have an iridescent finish, getting a great photo was beyond my reach, but I’ll have a couple of close ups later that definitely help.

These are easily made by stamping & coloring images, cutting or punching out in a size to fit the flat-back marble, then adhering with Diamond Glaze or Crystal Effects. I followed up with a black c/s backing and a magnet.

It’s a good idea to check your inks for compatibility with Diamond Glaze, or Crystal Effects glue, etc. Some inks & markers will bleed when covered with such a product, others seem to be fine. I’ve used Palette Noir hybrid ink for the images, and Copic alcohol markers with a touch of Stickles glitter for coloring with no issues.
