Feature Friday - My Favorite Background Stamp

Hi Paper Wings friends!  This is Carmen from Serendipity Studio and I've been so lucky to be invited to guest post a couple of times this month. For this first post I wanted to share with you my favorite background stamp from Paper Wings Productions, the Writing Backgrounds cling stamp set.

This stamp set is definitely my go to stamps for creating dimension and character in my backgrounds whether it's on cards, ATC's, canvas or on tags.

I started off with 2, #8 tags and applied Tim Holtz Distress Stains to the background.  On the blue tag I used Stencil Girls S058 Circles stencil with tinted modeling paste.  As you can see the stamps go easily over textured surfaces also.

I added another layer on this tag with Distress Inks and Stencil Girls stencil S006.  The post card stamp is still very visible.

One trick I've learned for making tag ribbons is taking some seam binding, opening it up, spritzing it with water and then some spray ink.  I used DecoArt's Media Line Mister in purple.

I finished off the tags by adding components from the September Well Dressed Nesting Components, Mixed Media Kit.  If you'd like to see more inspiration using this wonderful kit, Click Here and check out Amanda's amazing folio!
