Using Your Stamps In Layouts

Stamping on your favorite medium provides great texture in your layouts.



   A fun colorful layout using Basic Grey papers and Tim Holtz stamps and ink.  The raw graphic result of the stamping also matches well with the theme in the photo from the Stockholm Art Festival.



I had a challenge to do a layout with only one paper. I chose one of my favorites from Bo-Bunny   I thought it was going to be very difficult because I LOVE to use a lot of paper in my layouts, especially layering but in the end I was happy with the result.  I used Tim Holtz stamps and his ranger distress inks.  I also used a mask along the side with glimmer mist in a dark gold. 
The title could have been stamps but I wanted to use my Making Memories, and Pink Paisley Rub-ons I had on hand.  I scratched the rub-ons with my new favorite Norwegian designed ergonomic tool.  (more on that in another post). Overlapping them in 2 colors to created more interest.  I also scratched the edges of the photo to create a bit of a visual mat that also works well with the theme of the photo.
