boyish impressions using Knee Highs & Bow Ties.
6:05:00 AM
It's the month of celebrating boys and men, so there are loads of boyish things happening around my work space!
Being a boy mom (to 2 boy
dogs) I am always on the lookout for beautiful boyish looking products, papers
and stamps. Now I don’t just always use them for the dogs and my mister
although very handy - they come in very convenient for my little nephew. The
problem is that there are not always beautiful boy products available on the
market – but thankfully manufacturers and designers are starting to cater more
and more for the male figures in our lives.
The Knee Highs & Bow Ties
range from Basic Grey is wonderful and so very versatile. The range includes
cool cars and beautiful bugs which enables you to make loads of pages in either
theme – I can go bugs for my dogs and cars for my little nephew – how cool is
that. Just take the sticker sheet for instance – there are loads of cool banners,
cars and words to use and then twice as many bugs and circles for more layouts
and cards. Bang for my bucks!
This week’s project is a
layout, but what I really loved about the layout is that I could use the ‘BIG’
silhouette stamp to create fun accents on my layout. What makes the stamp so
much fun is that you can incorporate it so easily and simply by changing the
product you use to stamp with you can change the look of your project. I used
my all-time favourite ink pad for stamping the dark brown images – Versafine
Vintage Sepia. I then punched circles out of the stamped cardstock and used
them across my layout.
About
Versafine ink pads
Versafine is an extremely wet
ink – so you need to apply it the right way and you will get a perfect image
every time.
If you battle to stamp this
is the ink pad for you – it’s a soft on the stamp ink so transfers the images
beautifully and easily, even if you have arthritis in your hands and fingers.
Versafine is an ink that will
give you extremely fine detail even with the most delicate of stamp images, but
also works perfectly with bolder images and lettering.
You are able to watercolor or
marker over and it won't bleed – yeah!
Versafine is a natural oil-based
pigment ink that dries instantly on matte cardstock and can even be heat set
with a heat gun on smooth slightly shiny cardstock.
Versafine Inkpads will last
3-5 times longer than regular inks which make them very
economical.
