I die cut the tag and then gave it a light wash of gesso and dried with a heat tool.  I added drops of Lost Shadow Distress Paint and lightly brayered with Speckled Egg Distress Paint.  I stamped the image in distress ink and spritzed with water.  

It was good fun playing around with the different mediums and seeing how each worked with one another.

Thank's for popping by !

Distress Paint and Ink Fun !

Did you see Tim Holtz's live at the weekend where he demoed the back from the vault distress paints ?  I loved the technique of ghosting with the distress paint and had some fun with it.

I used Lost Shadow distress paint as that is the lightest colour I have and used various distress sprays I had to hand.  He's right when he says that the dragonfly stamp is a firm favourite !  It's just the perfect size and is just the perfect mix of solid, open and has text too !

 Here are links to the products I used :
