The SugarPea Designs product that I used is a clear stamp set called
Build a Background - Basics (pictured to the right). These stamps caught my eye because I thought they would be perfect for art journaling, mix media layouts, and to use in my planner! For the challenge, obviously, I chose to do a layout. I used both of the chevron-looking stamps (top two) with paint and with ink! I even got to use my small Geli Plate when working with the paint and stamps together! So. Fun. Here are a few close ups, which include the story:
I started with white card stock and a bunch of washi tape! I stuck with mostly pink and oranges, but various patterns. One of the washi tapes also had a little bit of blue -- and B.'s shirt is blue, so I went with it. :-)
I used some orange, yellow and red gelatos to create a layer under the photo. Then I added the stamping over that with orange StazOn ink.
That bright blue chevron was made with paint. I used my Geli Plate, spread some blue paint on it with a roller, and then I stamped directly onto the Geli Plate. Once I made the pattern in the paint that I was looking for, I pulled a couple of prints (using plain white card stock). I placed these behind the photo. It was fun! I absolutely loved working with these stamps from SugarPea Designs!
