Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Usually we don't have a challenge during VSBN, but this is a technique you could possibly use on one of your pages, so maybe you will get a chance to do it this week-end.
You can customize some of those flowers (paper, plastic, acrylic, die cuts or stickers, any flowers will do!) in your stash by stamping on them. I used craft ink, black acrylic paint and StazOn, all worked well. When stamping on plastic or acrylic flowers be careful about the stamp sliding.
Try stamping some images on vellum or transparencies and lay them over the flowers, gives you an idea on how it will look.
Even your tiny flowers can look very different when stamped. if you want to use the same flower on a page, but want them all to look a little different - stamp them with different stamps and colors
The OPD (One Page Doc, aka: Master Challenge Thread) that includes all challenges on one page for your printing convenience can be found here: OPD
If you have any questions please feel free to contact any one of the SBCT (scrapbook challenge team)via pm or simply post your question in this thread.

Ok, gotta go get some flowers! I've never used them before (no, really!) so this is going to be fun. Thanks for the challenge!
I hear you - I haven't been using them that long either. they are everywhere, even Michaels and JoAnn's have some.
You can also use the die-cut flowers for this challenge. some of those that come in the SSK's. Seriously some of them "need something" IMHO and I think I'll trying some stamping and maybe get them used up.
Thanks for the neat challenge Peggy! Here is my pg. the flowers in the right hand corner are stamped on in itty bitty backgrounds...pg. looks awfully messy...but it does look a little better in real life... TFL!!

This will be a fun challenge. I like how your stamped flowers look--very inspirational!

hope you will give it a try, it's another way to get some use from those stamps;)
Wow, that was a blast! Thanks so much for adding this to my repertoire, Peggy! I was surprised at how well it worked, actually! I used StazOn black on silk, paper and card stock flowers and the images were so crisp! So I'm not a silk flower virgin anymore either - whew! Oh, and I also tried emboss resist for the first time. Anyhow, hope you like it!
