I Brake for Brusho Stamping!

Hello everyone.  I am sharing a card I made this week with a bit of a different stamping technique. I stamped with Brusho powders.  Any of the watercolor powders would work with this technique and it gives a neat look.

This is the process. 1: Spritz rubber stamp with water.  2: Sprinkle Brusho powders over the wet stamp.  I used yellow, green and blue powders. 3: Spritz again with water to mix colors.  4: Stamp onto watercolor paper.

This is a very loose look and will be a bit different each time.  I let my garden dry, and then stamped over top of it with the fence stamp. I added a few flower sequins to the garden, just for fun. I just adore this sentiment, don’t you?





All the stamps are from Half Sheet 138B.

Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping!

I Brake For Strawberry Love

Hi stamping friends, Jamie Martin here with you today sharing a sparkly, fruity, love card. To make my card, I colored the strawberry from the I Brake For Stamps Fruit and Flowers Sheet set, with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens and stamped it on a white die cut panel. It was then colored with Prisma pencils.  The panel was sponged with Tea Dye ink and layered onto brown and blue papers. This was then glued to a tan card that was randomly stamped with Love and a small strawberry, from the same set using Tea Dye Ink. Tea Dye Ink was sponged around the card and blue glitter washi tape was added to the side. To add a bit more interest, gold Dot Sparkler stickers were added to the stamped panel.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope I have inspired you to Stamp This!

I Brake For Framed Flowers

Hi, Jamie Martin here with you today sharing a friendship card made with Sending Smiles and Funky Cone Flower.  When buying a stamp, keep in mind you don't always have to use all of the stamped image.  The Funky Cone Flower stamp has a pretty swirl background around the flower, but today I'm only using the flower. You can see a card I made HERE that used all of the stamped image.

Here is how my card was made;
1.  Stamp Funky Cone Flower on watercolor paper with Onyx Black VersaFine ink, heat set and color only the flower with Staedtler colored pencils. Cut out the flower only and set aside.
2.  The background panel was made by scribbling different colors of Gelatos on watercolor paper and it was then rubbed with a baby wipe to blend. Once dry, I rubbed Mowed Lawn Distress Ink on my craft mat and picked it up with a wet paint brush and flicked water drops on the panel and let it dry.
3.  Stamp Sending Smiles at the top of the panel with Onyx Black VersaFine ink.
4.  I diecut a frame from black glitter paper and glued it to the panel with Art Glitter glue.
5.  The Funky Cone Flower was popped up over the frame with foam squares.
6.  Black Dot Sparklers were randomly place on the panel.
7.  The panel was layered onto a larger black panel and glued to a white card with Zip Dry Glue.

I hope I have inspired you to look at your stamps differently and to Stamp This!

I Brake For Life Before Coffee

Hi, Jamie Martin here with you today sharing a clean and simple card using the MS79 Full Plate of Coffee and Sayings Set.  Last week I made a coffee card using the same set but it has a completely different look, you can see it HERE.  The card I made last week, was quite a bit more complex so this week I wanted to show that these stamps are also perfect to use if you need a card in a hurry.

Here is how it was made;
1.  Stamp coffee cups three times across the bottom of a white panel with Leaf Archival Ink.
2.  Wrap black and white ribbon around the panel, above the coffee cups.  Diecut a red heart and glue on top of the ribbon.
3.  Stamp the sentiment above the ribbon off to the left side with Leaf ink and add black Nuvo Crystal Drops, set aside to dry. When dry tape to a black card.

I hope I have inspired you to Stamp This!

I Brake For Brightening Days

1.  1 1/2' was cut off the bottom of a white card and the remaining portion was randomly stamped with the Large Fritillia stamp with Leaf Green Archival Ink.
2.  The Large Fritillaria was stamped on separate white card stock with Leaf Green and Aquamarine Archival Inks, then cut out.
3.  A strip of green paper was glued to the bottom of the white card and the flowers were glued to cover up the seam.  Rhinestones were placed in the center of the flowers.

I Brake For Smiles

Hi, this is Jamie Martin with you again and winter's just beginning but I'm ready for Spring!  So today I'm sharing a Spring inspired card.  I really like this saying, Sending Smiles, from I Brake For Stamps, it's pretty versatile.  I paired it with the Large Fritillaria stamp which is one flower that I stamped multiple times with VersaMark ink and embossed with clear powder.  Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey and Abandoned Coral Distress Inks were sponged over the flowers, then the embossed area was rubbed with a paper towel to remove the ink.  Some diluted Abandoned Coral was splattered over the card the Sending Smiles was stamped with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink. A gold gem was placed in the center of one of the flowers and gold stickers were placed randomly around the sentiment.  The panel was then glued to an orange card.

I hope I have inspired you to Stamp This!
