Stazon - Have you Tried it??

I hope everyone has fun planned for this weekend - I unfortunately will be working both Friday and Saturday nights and am trying to figure how to squeeze in some stamping time.

This card was created by stamping the tree with white Stazon on glossy cardstock and brayering over the image, creating a subtle background - the Stazon resisted the brayered ink. The card base is Old Olive cardstock, with En Francais Versamarked as the background image. The tree image was layered on Elegant Eggplant before placing on the card base. I used the eyelet border to frame the cardstock base. I listed the supplies below:

Sets: En Francais BG and Branch Out
Ink: Versamark, Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Elegant Eggplant
CS: Glossy White, Old Olive, Elegant Eggplant
Other: Eyelet Border


I wanted to share this mini book I created for my daughter's youth group using the Bog Shot Top Note Die. I used the DSP and ribbon from 2009 Sale-a-bration and Stazon inked the journaling block on the pages. I removed the rings from metal tags from the office supply store and used them as the rings for the books, decorating them with the ribbons. I attached a tag on each book for the girls to write their names (to prevent mix-ups). We plan on creating a different book each year to record our memorials of our yearly state meetings - a small token to keep and look back on years later.

Love seeing this tree on pink bkgd. I would choose a green or blue so this is such an unexpected color to me! It really works...nice job!

I love this stazon technique. I had no idea it would resist the brayer. Glad I got a brayer recently. I will definitely be trying this one out. Thanks for sharing.
