Background technique with Distress inks:
S.S.D. Swipe, Spritz and Drag.
Swipe your chosen colour on a craft sheet, Spritz with water and drag the card stock through the ink. This give a nice even layer of colour. Dry with a heat tool. Further layers of ink can be dragged, blotted or dabbed to great effect.

As soon as I saw this die I knew I had to have it! So many possibilities. I saw him looking out over a view, being all philosophical and as I had two new Distress Oxide ink pads to play with ;) came up with this tag.
