Happy Monday Friends!
We have a new hop happening over at Stamp Review Crew and for this one we are sharing lots of fabulous inspiration for the "Drybrush Background" stamp.
This stamp is a must have in your stamping stash! For both of my projects l have used Mint Macaron & Blushing Bride randomly stamped to create dual colouring. But l have created two different effects, although both inked up on the stamp the same to begin with.
On the PEACE card, once inked, l used some paper towel bunched up and dabbed all over to soften off the harder lines and on the JOY it is stamped as inked, no dabbing, which gives a sharper edge to the colours.
I also couldn't resist inking up in the same colours and adding in "Shaded Spruce & Purely Pomegranate (retired)" the lovely "Peace & Joy" bundle for the details....absolutely loving this set as well and how well it works with the "Drybrush" background.
Here are a couple of other projects l've shared recently using the "Drybrush" background stamp.
Next up is Linda Callahan and l'm sure she has something fabulous to share too!
Apologies, for not linking to the "NEXT" graphic....it just wont attach, thanks Blogger for changing things...Grrr! Lindas link is just above!

I love how you softened the look! Beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteWow Nicki! I love how you used the background on all of your cards. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card - I love this stamp and am surprised it's not getting more exposure - great to see it being used here - I'm always singing its praises on my FB SU group.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat stamp definitely creates a subtle and interesting background which you have enhanced with your paper towel dabbing. Thanks for the tip xx
