An Inky Tutorial at Ranger

Howdy-Ho everyone! I've got an Archival Ink tutorial over on the Ranger Ink Blog today! I've managed to use all the regular Archival Ink colors on these five tags. I'm showing you lots of photos here, but click over to the Ranger Blog for the tut. Also, you might recognize the purple/pink hued tag, as it was on display at the CHA 2014 Mega Show.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I LOVE Archival Ink, and now that I use an Ink Blending Tool with it, it's much more versatile for me! Hope you enjoyed the tutorial!

Supplies:



I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

  6. Crazy that the creative ways to use tags never ceases. I love the way this looks. I've seen layered tags, but this format is really fresh and inventive and terrific way to have the images pull together so perfectly. I know it's about the colors, but the layout really caught my eye too!
    Have a totes wonderful weekend!! :)

  8. Hello Anita,
    I think this is the first time I have seen stitching on any of your projects, it adds to the Tags wonderfully, Great colours on the inks you show them up splendidly.

  20. I'm off to check out the tutorial. I've never used Archival with an ink blending tool, so I am intrigued! These are so pretty...a rainbow of color and such a clever design. I also like the extra little word you added to each of the chit chat stamps. You always think outside the box...that is what I love about your work. xoxo
