Another swap I chose to join in CCSwaps was making something with a favourite stamp.
Well, that was a hard choice as I have quite a few favourites. I chose to use one image and one word stamp that are both favourites.
I placed a piece of handmade mono-printed background paper in my stamp positioner and stamped the image using Clearsnap Ancient Page Coal, which is a permanent dye ink. I then coloured the image using Tsukineko Brilliance Gamma Green, Ranger Archival Tangerine and Clearsnap Ancient Page Primrose inks using Ranger Cut n' dry Nibs.
With the piece still in the stamp positioner I stamped it again with the Ancient Page Coal. It still needed more depth, so I stamped it again with Clearsnap Mica Magic Burnt Orange.
I then edged this with a crayola metallic marker. I stamped the "Believe" word and embossed it with copper, and cut around it. Both were attached to the front and I added a couple of extra strips of the mono-printed paper.
I took some printer paper and made a background using Cathie Allan's stamp smoosh technique with 3 fluid chalk colours. I attached this to two pieces of cardboard and punched the holes and bound it with the Zutter Bind-it-all .
I attached some ribbon around the back and inserted a Phone Message pad inside which I got on sale at Michaels.
