Pressed Stains by Judy Jackson


I love techniques that use new items that I have!  This uses the Distress Stains.   It gives such a wonderful background. I know this will be a favorite technique to use again and again!  The focal image of the cacti is a retired stamp from Close to My Heart.  The cactus in the foreground is popped up with foam tabs. The word stamp is from Stampin' Up.

Hope you have a crafty day!

Pressed Stains Flower

Hi, Stampers!!  Ann Clack here.

My technique today is Pressed Stains.  No........I'm not ironing!!  Pressed Stains is a super fun technique from the most recent issue of the Technique Junkie newsletter.  I had a friend over to stamp on Friday.........Laura and I had a lot of fun.  She brought a hostess stamp set from SU and we colored up the Flower with copics.  Then we made the backgrounds to match the flowers.  I had one flower already colored up from the week before and had put a blue background around it.  The backgrounds we had made didn't have any blue and it looked really funny with them.  So......I made another background using a little blue and it was just perfect.  I love how every background is just a little different.  I hope you enjoy!  I included all four....I just couldn't decide which one I wanted to do the most!  Sorry...the scan was a little off.  The Hero Arts sentiment stamp had stamped the edge under the words and I thought it looked like it was supposed to be there so I stamped three more like it.
