How-To Video: Stamped Backgrounds

Morning!

Over on the Hero Arts blog, I posted two videos today.  (Can you saw overachiever?  Ha! No… I just am having fun with iMovie.  Very addictive.) 

But I couldn’t leave all you scrapbookers out, so I decided to do a page using a combination of the simple background techniques I did on the Hero Arts blog today: spotlighting, glittering and chalking.  Nothing remarkable here… just playing around.  I normally wouldn’t have put all these techniques together, so it was a fun challenge.  The video isn’t the best, but I wanted to do something quickly.  (Forgive my stumbling on words… it is getting late. 🙂

Supplies:

Hero Arts stamps (backgrounds of butterfly, flourish and flower)

Versamark Ink (for chalking)

Green Memories Ink

American Crafts Thickers (I have a serious addiction…)

Pebbles chalk (love the colors they have)

Bazzill Smoothies Cardstock (a must for stamping… love ’em)

Other: String (again inspired by the amazing Robyn) and pop dots

As for the chalking I did there on the little squares, HERE is a good example of a card using that background technique.  You would be amazed how fast it is to do.  Sally is the master of fast card-making-masterpieces. 🙂 

Thanks for stopping by.  I have another video ready to load soon (and a giveaway!).  See ya…
