Now I wanted to share a layout I did for the Virtual Scrapbooking Weekend over at SplitCoast Stampers this past weekend. The theme for the weekend was "Through the Decades", and my layout was for the "Rock and Roll" challenge. You couldn't spend more than 2 hours on 1 layout and I barely made it. It took me 5 minutes shy of 2 hours. Using a sketch by Julie Boner I made a layout of our family cat, Mogley, that passed away in September.
The 2 techniques I chose for this challenge were the "rock and roll" and the "grid" techniques. You can find step by step instructions for both of these techniques over at SplitCoast Stampers.
To achieve the "Rock and Roll" technique choose 2 coordinating ink colors and cover your stamp with the lightest first. Then lay your darker color down and rock the edges of your stamp over it. This gives you a 2-toned stamped image. The second technique is called the "Grid" technique. You just score your paper at equal intervals from 2 different ways to make a grid paper and then stamp over it.
Supplies:
Cardstock: American Crafts, Bazzill
Paper: My Minds Eye Laundry Line
Embellishments: MAMBI Bling, Ribbon, Brads
Stamp: UnkownInk: Memento, Versa Magic
Adhesive: Pop Dots, ATG, Xyron
