Stamping on Your Dictionary

Another look at using resist stamping on a dictionary page. Two different stamps were used for the resist. The flourish background is from Stamp Camp. Judikins is maker of the brown swirly background.

This lovely little girl is an image by Second Star On the Right. I bought mine in 2003 but can not find them anywhere now. I know the stamp line sold to another company and was available there for a while, but has now disappeared.

The highly detailed art stamps work best on glossy paper. I use a brayer to ink my stamp and go over it repeatedly to prevent any lines. Noe that I lightly sponged the edges of the image.

Quickutz is the maker of the die cuts framing the card that is in shade of brown. I sponged darker brown ink around the edges of the die cuts.

More sampes of the dictionary background page. The brown background has metal accents from a Spellbinders pendant die. The oval girl is a stamp from Second Star On The Right. The company and it's stamps has apparently disappeared. I bought mine in 2003. They are fantastic stamps and you will be seeing some more of these images in the near future.

The die cuts on the other three cards are from Bosskut. This company has some of the most amazing dies.

The background for these cards is dictionary page. Using a bold Stamp Camp background stamp, the image was stamped with Tsukineko's VersaMark and embossed with clear glossy embossing powder. After the heated and embossed powder had cooled, the unembossed area was inked using a makeup sponge.

In the purple version the entire card front is cover with the dictionary page, while the blue



version is layered on dark blue cardstock and then mounted on the card base.

The image of the girl reading the book is from Stamp of Excellence. These are wonderful stamps that I just love. Judi doesnt' have a website up and running just yet but you can find her at 1105 Main Street in Canon City CO or email her for a catalog, judisox@qwestoffice.net.
Be prepared for some fantastic stamps. I had a terrible time deciding which stamper were my favorites, sigh, I need a money tree that grows year round with people like Judi around making stamps.
