TIP or TECHNIQUE TUESDAY ***WEEK 4***

Hi all where dose the time go?
It certainly fly's round here.

The tip today is a carry on from the last couple of tip or tech Tues
still sticking with distress inks.

Today I would like to show, my colour chart tags,
I made them so long ago they are looking tatty
(time to make new ones I think)

There is a tag for every colour of distress ink,

(they are white tags & not manila, so you get a true colour)

I am going to use the aged mahogany tag for the photos,

not for any reason other than it was the first one I grabbed.

I used the same stamps on each tag so it kept  them quite uniform,

I did choose the stamps carefully

I wanted a text stamp & a bold stamp that covered most of the tag,

so when I use them for matching colours

I can see what I want to use it for.

Each tag has it's colour name on the back

I used the ranger labels again,

here's the LINK to them if you missed it last time.

I stamped the images in the colour

& blended the same colour with a blending tool all over the tag,

(darker round the edges so you get a variation of colour,

I use these tags for matching

patterned papers & embellishments to my projects,

I also use them for depth of colour,

(that may sound strange,

but how many times have you used a colour

& it came out darker than you thought it would)

I have also taken them to the shops before now

when I needed to colour match something.

I hope you like this tip & find it helpful,

I'm sure if you make a set of these tags,

you will find other uses I haven't even thought of,
