Tutorial Tuesday- Stamping on Vellum

*****Join our April Challenge: GET INKY, HERE***** 

Hi, Katie here! Happy Earth Day! Are you doing anything to celebrate? I have a pretty good sized garden that I planted, so I made this cute garden journal to write down and keep track of my harvest this year.

It's Tutorial Tuesday, so I'm also showing you how I made/colored the stamped vellum embellishments on my cover.

Stamps used: Build a Scene, Leaf Border

Supplies: Vellum, Ink, Stamps, Prismacolor Markers

1. Stamp your designs onto vellum and let them dry.

2. Cut out your designs. Use your markers to color the back of your stamped images. Why the back? Depending on the ink you used to stamp with, your markers could smear the design and since it's vellum, your color will show through.

After you're done coloring, just flip them back over and use them to embellish! The cool thing about prismamarkers is that you can blend colors together (like Copics) when you're coloring your stamped images.

The Build a Scene stamp set and the Leaf Border stamp set are both perfect for Earth Day crafting!

Feature Friday:With Some Sparkle

Happy Friday everyone!  Erica here to share with you this weeks Feature Friday and I have chosen to feature the cling mount stamp set With Some Sparkle.  If you like glitter and shine then this stamp set is definitely for you!  It is great for all types of projects and today I am using it along with products from my stash and the Paper Wings Productions Shop.  This year is going by so quickly and soon I will need to start my journal for 2014!  So I pulled a blank journal I had in my stash and began to create my cover using this fabulous stamp set With Some Sparkle.  My journal had a great chipboard cover that was nice and thick and already had a hexagon pattern etched into it.  So I pulled out a handful of mists, inks and paint and went to town decorating my cover.  After I had a layer of color mists down I chose one of my glimmer mist and sprayed the whole cover to add some extra sparkle!  You can find a great selection of mists and inks the PWP shop HERE!  Next I took one of our great background stamps, inked it up with some black ink, stamped once on scrap paper and then again on my journal for a lighter effect.  I did this in a few random places on my journal.  Once that was done I grabbed a stencil and some white ink and created some circles, once again in random places.  We have some great STENCILS in our shop and they are just screaming your name!  If you are have never used them before they are a lot of fun!  Check out this great post from Norma using stencils  HERE.  Once my white ink was dry it was time to start stamping!  I stamped out the fabulous tiara image in the bottom left of my journal in black ink and added a rhinestone to the center of the tiara!

Next I stamped one of the great sayings in this stamp set on top of the circles I had just added to my journal cover! 

I love this saying and it is the perfect title for my 2014 journal!  I then took two more sentiments from the set and masked off the stamps leaving just the word SPARKLE and stamped them out on my cover! 

  I added a few embellishments some washi tape and outlined a few of the hexagons and colored some in with Gelatos from the PWP Shop.  Once I had everything down I took my white color mist and added a few droplets and called it done...well sort of.  I am sure as the time goes on things will slowly be added to my cover but for now this is my finished project!
