12 tags ~ day 2

Here is my day 2 tag. I used a Paperartsy stamp (map) and a TH embossing folder (trees).  

12 Tags of Artsy Crafts

On February 24th I am going to the Artsy Crafts event to take a workshop with Tim Holtz.   Sunshine Girl (who isn't at all excited about the event! [not]) suggested we make 12 tags - one per day in the countdown to the great day.   And yes I know there are 17 days until the day but there doesn't have to be any logic to it!

Anyway, here's my first tag. 

A background technique

Dyan Reaveley made this video of how to do a ghosting technique using her Dylusions Ink Sprays.

These are my first 3 attempts with this technique.  The first two samples are directly on to white paper.

The page below already had some left over paint on it from where I had been working on another page and blotted the left over ink onto the paper.

I don't usually leave this amount of white round the edge of the page ~ I do like the idea of some white but there's probably too much here.  When I come back to working on it again I'll maybe apply some more ink.
