Gotta love the cuteness of Amuse Art Stamps! I passed this stamp up two weeks ago, but just had to buy it on my last trip to Picture This. I'm under the impression it's a good idea to "collect them all"...I'm getting close too! Loved the in-store idea of glittering up the apples, so I brought out my Martha Stewart glitter AGAIN. Super easy, super cute...all you need is a fine-tip glue pen.
A little up-close action...I used a Staz On black ink pad for stamping the apples. This is definately my favorite kind of ink pad since it absolutely won't smear! I used a watercolor pencil for the "core" and a dove blender pen. Add some glue and glitter and voila! Cute little apples! See supplies listing and tips below.
Supplies:
Cardstock - (black) Rooney Printing; (white) Georgia Pacific; (red) Worldwin
Patterned - (red stripe) Doodlebug
Other - (paper border) Doodlebug, (assorted ribbons) craft supply; (red brad) unknown - purchased at Down Memory Lane; (ink) Staz On; (stamp) Amuse
Tools - (circle and scallop border) Spellbinder Nestabilities
Tip: Can't say this tip is all mine 'cause I got the idea from the Amuse card on display, but...what a cute idea to separate the saying on the stamp from the image. This is super easy too. I actually flipped the stamp over and carefully inked the portion I wanted. Another option is masking off the unwanted portion of the stamp with masking tape. Yet another option is using stamping markers to color the selected area. In any event, you can get double-duty from your stamp! Wouldn't the image above be perfect for an apple orchard or fall-themed page? I just love stamps because of their versatility! Thanks for looking!
