Now, I was surfing the net this morning at work (before working hours, I hasten to add!) and came across a video I haven't seen before on the Ranger website from the Maestro himself, Tim Holtz.
He used the blending tool and distress inks to make a blocked background on a tag, and I had to have a go straight away when I got in from work tonight. I used the new colours of DI's and left just a couple of gaps for a bit of contrast.
I stamped the sentiment (Tim's, of course) straight on the tag over the background, and the little boy (also by Tim for Stamper's Anonymous) on a scrap, both in black arcival ink
I think I'll be using this background again!
Sorry it's a bit wonky, I didn't have time to scan it again, Liverpool are playing again tonight and I've got to get ready!!
Now, all together now - COME ON LIVERPOOL.....
See you soon.

Sorry, not interested in football, but I love the tag. He did something similar at Christmas with alcohol inks. The background is awesome.
Not a good night for footie at all...
