 | | For Lisa's Ways to use it- oldie but goodie
After rummaging through all my stamps, my oldest is a 1990 SU stamp set- Construction.
I bought this set of four stamps with the intent of making birthday cards for my DS & dear nephews when they were toddlers since they LOVED digging in the dirt with their Tonka trucks, bulldozers, etc.
Even with good intentions... today is the first day I've used it!
I first tore the sandpaper to make 'hills' of dirt and have 2 layers. I stamped the images on the sandpaper, but decided to stamp, color with markers & fussy cut in white CS.
After positioning the bulldozer & truck on the sandpaper, I die cut the sentiment in various shades of browns to resemble different color boulders & dirt. Apparently I have lost the letter 'D' die, so I stamped and fussy cut it. To match the letters I stamped over each die cut letter in soft suede. So much for the various shades of letters, but I think it adds some dimension. 
I then made my own caution zone frame by using yellow & black large chiseled sharpie markers and a ruler, making diagonal lines.
I used 2 sizes of rectangular dies to cut the frame.
Thanks Lisa for the trip down memory lane with using oldies but goody stamps! |
