Hi there! Britt Bass here to share a stamped-upon layout using the Jillibean Soup line “Chilled Cucumber Soup” and Clearsnap pigment ink.
I LOVE me some Jillibean soup! Fresh designs, always versatile, and sometimes innovation – I always feel like Jillibean offers me something I can really USE. “Chilled Cucmber Soup” is no exception! I love that is seems soft and feminine – even though the color scheme is totally gender-neutral. I was easily able to create this fun, impressive design using a Jillibean Placemat. Here's a little peek at how I did it:

Easy-peasy, right? I know you will love them!
Another technique I really love is creating my own embellishments from stamped images. I used many of the butterfly elements included in the large Chilled Cucumber Soup stamp set. Take a look:
I am so proud of this layout – it came out exactly how I wanted it to! Don't you just love that?

Good day stamp fans! Britt Bass here to share a card you need to take some TIME and look at! This card features two 7gypsies co-branded stamp sets and Clearsnap pigment and chalk ink.
Time Is Precious card by Britt Bass
I often choose my sentiment first and then let the rest of the card come together around that one idea. It helps me focus on a one or two specific ideas which give my designs some unity. I try to pick out, or create elements that contribute to my chosen sentiment. Think of it this way, if a person who didn't speak English looked at your card, could they still understand the “sentiment” behind it? If you think they could – you are on the right track!
I created the center, stamped panel using a simple masking technique. I stamped each clock on a sticky note and used those masks to collage those clock stamps together. I love the look of pigment ink and chalk ink together; mixing the ink creates extra texture without adding bulk.

Chalkboard Tags by Kim Frantz
Create the look of a chalkboard with paint and white ink! Simply paint the surface of anything you wish using chalkboard paint...here I used kraft tags and a kraft envelope by Jillibean Soup. You could use black paint, but I think the chalkboard paint gives the surface a bit more texture. Use white ink, white gel pens, and your favorite stamps. Welcome any uneven lines you may get with the stamps. It lends to the "chalk" look! Use a sponge dauber to lightly apply white ink over the surface in random places. This creates the look of a chalkboard that has been erased. I added some heart stickers for a small pop of color.
