Forum collaboration

Time to make another tag for our forum swap.  It's not often I stick to just doing stamping these days.  I used the "Dream" stamp as a resist by tapping a pale coloured Adirondack dabber on it and stamping lightly.  Once dry, I rubbed distress inks over it and then stamped the final images with black Staz on.  If you have the new T!m Holtz book, the technique's in there (thanks for the loan Julie!!)

Lovely background Carol and the simple stamping makes it beautifully effective

I love this tag Carol - Tim Holtz's book is great isn't it. I have tried one or two of his ideas already but it's a case of 'so little time and so much to do'!
