The Silver Stamper

 Hello, again -     This is another of the four stamps included in the Bold Botanicals set by TH/Stampers Anonymous.  These stamps actually create the focal image and the background for the image.  I used the following to create this card:     SU! Whisper White and WW Thick Cardstock     SU! Deckled Edge Rectangles Dies      Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous - Bold Botanicals      Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous - Tiles, Circles Stencil (from Party Cat Mixed Media set)     Card-io Nature Quotes stamp set     Distress Oxide Inks - Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio, Salty Ocean     Delicata Celestial Copper ink pad     Gold cord     Stampin' Sue

 Hello, Everyone -     A few new stampin' "things" to play with.  The flower/background image is heat embossed on Fairy Hugs Craft Papers and the card background is also FH Craft Papers.  Here are the basic products I used for this card:     Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous - Bold Botanicals     Fairy Hugs Craft Papers - Rainbowdance     Versamark Ink, White embossing powder     Lavinia Stencil - Feather Leaf     A couple of different blues - Versafine Clair Ink Happy Stampin', Stampin' Sue

  Hello, Everyone -     I recently watched a YT video by Jennifer McGuire, where she made this type of colorful background.  Believe it or not, it is created with one stamp, called a Turnabout (by Concord & 9th).  The Turnabouts have been around for several years! This link, among several others, although mainly providing info on a "jig" which helps with using these stamps, also shows how to use the Turnabout stamps and great tips.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tccPeTlqCY   It takes a few preparation steps (you will need a Misti or Stamp-a-ma-Jog), but then you can go ahead and do several backgrounds and let your color ideas go wild.  Have fun!
