Say it with…Background Stamps

Posted by on February 17, 2012 in Annabelle Stamps, Challenges | 13 comments

Hi all,

The challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps this week is to use background stamps. Hope you can join in the fun and we look forward to seeing where your imagination takes you!

I used BBD#7 to create a colourful stripy background. The buttons were a lovely gift from my fellow DT Jess. I wanted the sentiment to be a little bolder – so I stamped it once and then stamped it again a fraction to the side, then filled the gaps in with a black felt pen.

I am entering this into the current Jay Gee Nook’s Challenge #16 where the inspiration was this photo. I was drawn to the colours and the buttons!

Supplies:

Stamps: AnnaBelle Stamps BBD#7 stamp set, AnnaBelle Stamps Fanciful Flowers stamp set
Ink: Versacolor ink – Camellia, Turquoise, Bamboo, Cyan, Orange, Yellow
Card: AnnaBelle Stamps smooth white card
Other Supplies: AnnaBelle Stamps 0.8mm Natural Hemp twine, foam dimensionals,Β  Glossy Accents (to adhere buttons), American Crafts buttons, black felt pen

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of the DT have created. The Belles’ links are on my side bar.

Thanks for visiting.
