Add/Alter Details to a Large Cling Stamp

Hello friends!

I have something fun to share today.

Red Star (Penny Black)

Now take a look at this stamp, you would likely make a card like this?



 (see my previous post about this card here)

After my first card, I must say I see "potentials" of this stamp....
so I got inky and created a very vibrant card.

 My Light Bulb moment

Ding----> Use PART of the stamp to create something different. Instead of using the entire stamp, I used part of  it around the edges. Take a good look at your stash, I bet you can come up with something new and different.

Stamp-postioning tool such as MISTI is a game-changer.

Now with the " new kid on the block"....Tim Holtz Stamp Platform, it proves to be vital to use these type of tools to create this kind of design.

I used Zig Markers for this application (re-inking each time and stamping in various colors).
You might ask...how many Zig Markers should one have?
That all depends on your budget and obviously,.... the more, the merrier.
With that said, I think for a starter set like set of 12 Markers or 24 Markers is ideal.

Also, notice that I altered the positioning of the sentiment? No worries, no stamp surgery was performed during this change. This one layer fills me with delight as I create! A stamp like Red Star is more versatile than it looks!

Accessories used in this project: Sweet 16 Sequins (SSS),  Nuvo Golden Sunset Glitter Drops,
