Newly released and boldly gorgeous- JustRite has a new large cling stamp that has the full coverage needed for a card. The size of this stamp is 4"x5.25" so it fits on an A2 card nicely.
Background stamps are also great to use for texture on cards, tags, ATC's , scrapbook pages, mixed media projects and so much more.
My background stamp is from JustRite PaperCraft Succulent - Background Cling Stamps and is great for experimenting with embossing and inking. This card actually was easy to make.
Here are my quick steps
Step. 1 - I stamped the image onto " Specialty Stamping Paper for Inks" using Clear Embossing Ink and the Misti Stamping Tool ( Most Incredible Stamping Tool ). This helps provide a clear and crisp image. I am not looking for a distressed image - I really am desiring a crisp clean image. For this reason, I also did not choose to use distress embossing ink.
Step. 2 - I coated the specialty paper with clear super fine embossing powder (white embossing powder works nicely here as well). Heat and set with a heat embossing tool/heat gun.
Tip - With products like embossing powders, glitter and beads, I find that clean up is much easier when using a craft tray to help catch all the extra product. I'm not really great at sweeping and vacuuming so I like to avoid that one task when possible.
Step. 3 - Pick some Distress inks and start blending. I was able to blend gorgeous color combinations on the specialty stamping paper using various Distress Inks and blending tools.
Here is a list of the Distress Inks I used:
Tim Holtz Distress Ink- Rusty Hinge
Tim Holtz Distress Ink- Vintage Photo
I added a small sentiment using JustRite's Small Oval Wishes Stamp set. This collection has a great variety of all purpose sentiments that seem to cover most occasions. They are small sentiments that can be added and not overwhelm your beautiful artwork on the card.
I stamped the word "HOPE" with black ink and covered with clear embossing powder (followed by a blast of the heat gun to set the embossing powder). to give is a crisp clean finish.
