This week JustRite Stampers is bringing you the 2nd installment of its November stamp set release and today’s stamps being featured are a brand new line for JustRite -- background stamps! These background stamps are made of deeply etched red cling rubber and measure a generous 4.50” x 5.75”. Here’s the first one -- Scrolled Vine:
Isn’t it gorgeous?!! The void in the center is intentional and designed to hold any of JustRite’s Nested Sentiments . . . or anything else you’d like to do with that blank space! I stamped the background with Dazzle Champagne VersaMark onto a #8 Kraft Tag.
I accented the tag with this gorgeous vintage ornament stamp from JustRite’s Cling set, Deck The Halls, die cut with Spellbinders 2011 Heirloom Ornaments die. I filled in the blank center of the Scrolled Vine background with some pretty Prima Jaqueline lace trim and stamped a “Noel” sentiment from Deck The Halls.
The Champagne Dazzle Versamark is gorgeous stamped on this kraft tag -- hopefully you can see all the sparkle in this close-up (click on photos for a larger view):
To finish the tag, I added a red button and hand stitched metallic gold cord accents by piercing holes in the tag first, using Tim Holtz's Design Ruler. My red silk ribbon (shown on the left in the photo below) was a little too bright for the other red colors on my tag, so I dyed it a shade darker by placing the ribbon in a baggie and adding a few drops of Copic R29 Various Ink Refill:
The other new background stamp we’re featuring today is Vintage Wallpaper:
Here’s my card, also using JustRite’s Cling set Merry & Bright:
To achieve the background, I colored directly onto the background stamp with Copic markers R89 and YG97:
Then, since the alcohol ink of the Copic marker dries quickly on the stamp, to reactivate the marker colors I spritzed the stamp with a Mini Mister filled with Copic Colorless Blender and very quickly stamped onto Neenah Natural White cardstock (stamped image is on the right below):
To finish the card, I distressed the edges of the background paper and machine stitched the background to an ivory card base and stamped and die cut the ornament and colored it with Copic Markers E42, R89 & YG93:
The center sentiment was stamped and die cut separately and popped up on foam tape. The rest of the ornament was also popped up over a white doily that was altered by airbrushing a combination of Copic E50 and E41 (so it would match with my other ivory cardstock on the card):
By placing the doily onto a piece of white cardstock with temporary adhesive while I was airbrushing, I now have a stenciled doily I can use on another project!
And to help you stamp these nice large background stamps, JustRite now has this large 5" x 6" acrylic block with finger grips:
