Hi friends! It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to inspire you on using up extra stamped backgrounds. You may remember THIS post (and video tutorial HERE) where I shared how to use PaperArtsy Infusions with Versamark ink to make embossable stamped images for resist, well during that process I was left with a load of stamped backgrounds, I mean why not go ahead and stamp them while you are playing, right?!
Here's the lot I was left with...
I knew the funky butterfly from the PaperArtsy Tracy Scott Stamp Set ETS22 would work perfectly with these backgrounds, and to make it easier to do a batch in one quick sitting, I stuck with a monochrome palette. This was also because the Magenta Infusions I used were so bright and beautiful, I thought it only needed a little contrast with black & white.
I added another tap of Magenta Infusions to some water to use with my waterbrush to add a little color to the wings of my butterflies, then layered my scraps like so. I used the Pronty Quote Stickers and an older PaperArtsy stamp set to emboss a sentiment to finish them off. It always feels good to sit down and make a good batch of cards in a short time, so let me encourage you to always make extra pieces and keep them near by. Have a great week friends! Hugs, Autumn
