Blog: Stamps Are Fun 03 | Ali's Project 01

This month's Stamps Are Fun set features a bunch of flowers with filled in versions and outlines.

Stamps Are Fun is a monthly stamp subscription that features a 6x8 stamp set. Some months include words, some months are illustrations, and some are a mixture of both.

One of the first things I knew I wanted to do was create some kind of frame using the flowers. I did some warm up stamping first and then stamped a border using a bunch of green inks from Tim Holtz around the outside of a pattern paper from last year's travel collection. Love stamping on top of these prompt papers to make them my own.

Let's dive into the process video:

Get out some of those prompt papers in your stash and stamp on them! It's so fun to play like this!

I cropped my photo into a circle in Photoshop before printing it here at home. Black + white worked so well with all the greens in the stamping.

From my 3x8 paper stash I found a number list with the green stripe on the bottom and stitched that to my first page to document a few of the basics from this Saturday morning.
