As I am experimenting with adding colour to the large background that I was working on yesterday, I started with one of the backgrounds which didn't quite stamp well enough. Having decided to use Archival ink and stamp using the mega mount as an acrylic block, I used one of the failed backgrounds as a starting point. I love distress ink pads as you can blend them really well with the small round blending tool and lift the colour using water if you need to. Here's my first attempt - you can see where the beetle didn't stamp properly, but I just wanted to try out colour placement. I used a water brush and kitchen towel to lift the colour from the shirt cuff, 'hello', the compass hands, balloon boat and around the key.

Experimenting with A5 Background Stamps
Hi everyone, sorry it's been a while since I posted; I will try and do better. Only a week until half term and then I will have a little more time.
As a starting point for my latest card, I wanted to use one of the new A5 background stamps by Docrafts. I chose the Steampunk background, as I want to create a masculine card; I will be trying the same techniques using the Musicality A5 stamp as this is more feminine. As it is such a large stamp, I initially used the technique of inking up the stamp and laying the card face down onto it. I used Versamark ink and black detail embossing powder to heat emboss the design. As you can see, I ended up with an out of focus effect, as I had obviously moved the card when I was rubbing over the back.
