Does anyone have any information or a link to a site that explains this technique?

Thanks,

Here is a link to a tutorial on You Tube that Tim Holtz demonstrates Distressed Color Blocking. Hope this is what you are looking for.

At the end of the video, is a website address for Ranger Ink which will take you to the Ranger ink website where they have a ton of videos.

Thanks for that link!

I have used distress inks as shadow inks (to highlight my focal image) by dabbing the ink on an acrylic block - this gives a nice pale watercolor effect.

I thought I would add another link to a tutorial here on SCS by Beate which might be of interest in case this is what you are looking for. You can find the tutorials here at SCS by clicking on resources at the very top RHS of your SCS page where you see the words: home | gallery | forums | resources | news | about

Ummm... my senior moments are occurring more often. I had completely forgotten Beate's tutorial about this very subject. And I was coming back here to give credit to the person who reminded me of this technique... Lucky Stamper: Lucky's One Layer Friday

My apologies to both ladies!

I have no idea what techniue this name is actually given to but you can just use a Distress pad as a colour block. Press it gently onto your cardstock and you'll get a slightly shabby square of colour. Couple of samples attached for you to see how it works out.

I love your cards with the faded background and crisp front stamp. Looks awesome and gives me lots of ideas. Thanks.

This just gave me a fabulous idea! So glad I popped into this thread! I'm going to try some coloring blocking with a variety of blue inks
