I've used Distress Inks to colour my card after seeing this done on the Ranger website.. I just knew I wanted a go! .. I had a little 'blooper' which I may share with you on my blog tomorrow!!

Next, I made tag using some Fab-U-LouS new stamps from Maria Sabina Raita.



I used the same Distress Inks as before..

Julie Steed said...

Gorgeous!! I love the blending of the colors. I can't find a blooper anywhere...did you hide it under a sentiment? ;)

Patti Senter said...

Really love this technique with the white space and using the distress inks. Makes an eye popping card. The tag is wonderful, love that sentiment. Can't wait to see the blooper tomorrow, lol. Don't we all have them????

Kathi said...

Both projects are fabulous. If there's a blooper, it's well hidden.

Great colors and a total success with a new-to-you technique!

If I have to choose a favorite, I'll go with the bunny and balloon tag! Genius to color the balloon so vividly and the bunny so subtly.



Heidi said...

Beautiful work! Will have to stop by the ranger site :) That little bunny is starting to grow on me!

Solveig said...

Ang and Crys said...

The card with the Spidergrass stamp is absolutely beautiful! I love the combination of colourful and creative background & this relatively simple but well designed stamp that looks like an effortless ink drawing. A stamp like this can be used in so many ways!
