I've made you all wait long enough so let's get right to it! This technique uses distress inks and washi tape to create neat effect to only chosen areas of your choosing. Projects like this are why I buy washi tape when it's on clearance. It doesn't matter what the design is when you are using it as a tool rather than a decorative piece. I also love to use it to tape down my dies when I put them through my Cuttlebug. This is a great and inexpensive way to keep them in place if you don't have a magnetic plate.
This is the beauty we will be making! But don't think this technique is limited to these colors or stamps. Be sure to check out other ideas using the same technique at the end of the tutorial.
