I Really Liked Making This Layout
This layout doesn’t show what was done to complete it. It started out as two lined manilla color papers! All of that damask print, and newspaper print you see – were stamped on!! There are the accent blue swirls stamped on, and the So Very (Stampin Up) stamp. They Y O U are rub on letters, but the blue swirls around the edges were stamped! It was fascinating to learn how to make all of these papers and embellishments ourselves. The right hand accent paper was perhaps the most wonderful technique of all. We used Distress Ink and just kept layering it on until the background colors where what we wanted them to be – and then added the stamped Damask print on top.
I had so much fun playing in the ink! My husband, daughter and I had Symphony tickets for after the class – so I did my very best to keep scrubbing my hands after every stain! But I had a ball – and couldn’t wait to get home and try my hand at playing with these wonderful products! I’ve owned many of them for years – but I never knew they could be so versatile!
