Blocks of color

Who knew a rectangle of ink could take on a life of its own?  The lovely Linda, hostess of Grungy Monday, has kindly challenged us to make use of Tim's Distress Ink color blocking technique that can be found over on the Ranger site.  This technique could easily become my favorite!

I used all the colors in the rainbow for this one, including brown and black.  Tim's new stamp set, Haberdashery, and die (Sewing Room), as well as a new Texture Fade (Pattern & Stitches) - that was used as another stamp - all got used.  There's also some Sticky Back Canvas from Claudine Hellmuth and a snippet of Martha Stewart Ribbon.

Can't wait to read all about the new challenge on Monday!

    This is awesome, Susan, your color block tech came out fantastic, and makes a great background for the die cuts!

    That is a super cool background, I went and looked at the video. I like how you seem to show the softer side of colors.
