It's Never Just Black or White!

 HI IBFS Fans!

Today I'm sharing a mixed media art journal page combining products from IBFS and BPM!

To create my journal page background I used a stencil designed by DeadSeaToons and available at the BPM Store along with ink sprays, charcoal pencil & posca pens.

The main focal image of my page is a stamp available at the IBFS Store which I stamped onto an old book page covered with gesso.

So many fab stamps to choose from!

I Brake for...Affirmation

Hannah here, stepping out of my Steampunk love'n style!

Sometimes I like to stretch my boundaries and my expectations of a card, the stamp I used for today's card is a perfect example of this. I chose to use this card for a couple of different reasons.

1. I haven't seen many stamps like it on the market
2. It is SO different from my usual style, I wanted to see what I'd do with it
3. I LOVED the "YES" sentiment on it!

Isn't it the selection of stamps, that are out of the ordinary, awesome at I Brake for Stamps?!?!?!

Wouldn't this card be perfect for a teenager, or someone who is just tricky to get the perfect card for? The encouragement on the front is AMAZING, I love the simple YES. Inside a sentiment could be added for a birthday, or a graduation, or anything that is needed! YES! Happy Birthday! YES! Congrats! Those would be the PERFECT additions!

I used my stamp positioning technique for rubber stamps, which you can watch here.

This image was stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black and then re-stamped with VersaMark prior to embossing with WOW! Clear Embossing Powder. I painted everything with my Zig Real Brush Markers except for the two "star" areas which I used my Kuretake Gansai in a pearl color. Yes, even the black background was made using my black Zig brush.

I matted this image on a piece of brown cardstock I had, I wanted it to look like an extension of a wall. To tie the two layers together I used a stencil from Tim Holtz to overlap both panels. I used Ranger's Texture Paste to carry on the overall look I was going for. The texture paste popped too much on the brown areas (it took a gray tone where it was naturally mixing with the black Zig) so I GENTLY brushed my Dew Drop Brilliance ink pad in Cosmic Copper.

I hope that I have inspired you into thinking outside your own crafting box! If you are interested in this, or in any other stamps from I Brake for Stamps, I urge you to pop on over to their website! You'll find THOUSANDS of awesome rubber designs!
