Recently I discovered the amazing technique of coloring stamped images with Ranger's Distress Ink. It might not be new to everyone, but it is new to me. I have a drawer full of these awesome inks, so today I decided to give it a try. It took a couple of messed up images to finally get one that I liked, but now I'm in love with the look. I think it's such a different style than I'm used to with my Copics. I love the difference and it really seemed to fit the look I was going for today. I added some modeling past to the edges of the image, then stipple brushed some inks on to it. In fact, most everything on this page has been stippled with tea dye ink to tone it down. The flowers are handmade because I didn't have any in my stash that matched the color scheme. I like the way they turned out as well. Tip: It's always nice to be able to match your papers and making your own gives you that freedom. I am really thrilled with the way this one came out!
