Hi again everyone! Today I am sharing what I created with the gears backdrop stamp.I experimented a lot with this stamp and I found that using a pigment ink gave better coverage. Also, it helps if you apply the paper to the ink pad. Instead of pressing the ink pad onto the paper. Flip the ink pad up, and press your paper onto it. Got much better coverage that way. Here's a layout I created:
I used embossing ink on this one and silver metallic Zing embossing powder. This story is about how TJ sliced his hand open last year opening a can and had to get three stitches. The layout didn't scan well but the silver metallic really makes the gears look cool.
I also made a card:
I thought this bicycle die cut from Crate Paper's Fourteen collection was an appropriate starting point since V day is coming up and I wanted to see if I could use the manly gears backdrop in a girlie way.
Thanks for joining us on the two day release party! I'm sure you've found some new stamps you want and I hope to see your creations soon!
