Stamping Stamping Stamping

I'm going to chat about one thing and then we are getting to today's AWESOME post.

I'm on sensory overload this morning...

I came into the office to be welcomed by the Blog Class Project for November.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!  You are going to DIE! It's so stinking adorable!

Ha Ha Ha... now you have to wait until I get pictures of it to see it.... 

stay tuned.

Then, as if that weren't enough, I saw today's stamping layouts and can I just say

WOWZA!!!!!  So incredible!!!

The girls have given you tips and tutorials so you can recreate stamping sensations of your own!

You'll want to pin this post so you can go back to it over and over!

 Tip: On this layout, I've used a simple technique which is called the "Resist Stamping". On my layout, I've used some white gesso to stamp the flowers, leaves and the big dragonflies around the photograph. The stamped images will have some textures to it and it is a resist against water based mediums. I've later, misted some water based inks on areas surrounding the stamped images. Before the inks dry, simply just use a wet wipe to lightly dab up the water based inks on the stamped images.

 I also used the new script stamp from Snow Mountain as a background stamp and on the BB bloom to change up the design a little.

 I used the watercolor washed looking side of some BB Chiffon Dot cardstock as the base of my layout and combined some older and newer Bo Bunny flourish stamps to create a border. I stamped with a clear embossing stamp and then added some clear embossing powder and heat set it (above).

 Once I finished doing all the edge stamping and heat embossing, I used some distress ink and working from the outside in, added ink fading it as I worked in. (I used Tim Holtz Victorian Rose and Frayed Burlap). The embossed/stamped area's resist the ink and only the paper part takes the ink, in this way you create the 'resist' design.

 The background looked like this before I began the rest of my page design (above)

 I then figured out my photo placement and added the tear design (above) and some more

Bo Bunny stamps that would surround my photo and did a little more 

stamping/heat embossing/inking to the page.

 I used the Lovestamp - stamp to create my own pattern on top of the pattern. I stamped and embossed randomly over my background and then cut out the insides from within the stamps, likes frames or windows and then adding other pieces of patterned paper from the back. 

I also stamped with a script stamp into my gesso.. It gives a nice texture to the gesso when it dries and you can see hints of text in there.. Of course when doing that my stamp got all white so instead of cleaning it all off I stamped a few times with it aswell.
