I love PaperArtsy stamps and the designers work some serious magic with them over on the company's
blog. I usually ooh and aah over their creations but have never stepped up to tackle one of their challenges. I was inspired by the simplicity of
Clare Lloyd's ATC book this week though. Can you see her influence in my ATCs?
Instead of stamping a background on the base I had some stamped tissue paper sitting on my desk that I added to the base. Gesso through a stencil followed that with some spray inks over the top. The mushrooms were stamped on paper that I had scraped paint onto (as she did).
I love the Giant Mushroom stamp (Stampotique) and don't use nearly enough. But I love how it looks against the green background - must be my Pacific NW self envisioning hikes through the Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Park. :) In the following pics you can (hopefully) see the texture created by applying the gesso through the stencil.
This one is a little more subtle.
I'm including these in Kay's
Stampotique Designers Challenge to create a textured background.
Thanks for taking a peek!
