Grungy Metal Monday Tribute to Ranger!

Happy Monday Everyone, Good Bye Spring, Hello Summer!

In my usual fashion I am combining two art challenges this week.
Something a Queen of Paper taught me. She know who she is.

&

Grungy Monday is up to week 12 where the challenge is



Having just received some product direct from Ranger I was amazed at how cool the packing tape they use looked. I knew that I couldn't just throw something that looked so cool in the trash.

When I saw today's blog challenges I knew that I was going to have to come up with some way to re-use this tape.

I'm so happy at the way it turned out. It is indeed a Tribute to Ranger for giving us such wonderful products to create with.

Close up so you can see the technique Tim demonstrated.

Another view trying to show the technique.

Everything used on this tag is indeed from Ranger, Inks, Embossing powder, Paint Dabbers, Grunge board, Ideology metal embellishments, Paper reinforcements and Tissue Tape.
