Crop Challenge | Stamp a Background with Nancy

I normally start at the beginning but today I felt adventurous so I jumped to #12 and I have enjoyed Nancy's workshop class this month and like her style. This layout was inspired by her background stamping. I used some very old flower stamps with the new spring stamp set and of course water color for extra credit. ;o)

I stamped a background with various sentiments from the Adulting stamps. Also used watercolors: http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/199817-adulting-card

I went hybrid after trying to physically stamp a background and having it all go horribly horribly wrong... SO, digital!

Well, I must say that this was an interesting challenge. It really challenged me.

This challenge brought me so much joy creating the background and finally got to break out this magnificent stamp set! Love it!

Stamped a background using the pencil from the stamp set "Word Search Valentine". I have also used watercolours, first time since I was a Little girl. Difficult but fun!

I love this challenge, so I just had to make another Project. Here I have used the "Veggie" stamp set to make a patterned paper to use as the title card of this documenter spread. I have also used watercolours.

I did another one for this challenge. Started by stamping all across the page with just the stamp and phrases. Once I was finished it needed color so stamped them all again on pattern paper and added over the plain stamped images leaving a few blank to give it a visual break and interest.

I stamped a background paper (Not a great stamper, I chose not to water color today) and then i cut it up to use in this pocket page layout from our Myrtle Beach Vacation. These photos from the pool aren't that great but I wanted to include them in the album.

I stamped this background with 3 different sets: http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/200033-keep-going
I think I'm going to try it again this week!

Since I haven't got my photo printer++ I haven't finished, but I thought I'd at least upload my stamped background!

I'm not much of a stamper so this way a big push to improve myself. http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/200091-volcano-drinks

Stamping + watercoloring (with dye inks):

Girls and bows (Thank you Maggie Holmes!) are the perfect match for this challenge, handcolored with pencils...

I had to make use of that cute coffee mug stamp from the Confidant Stamp Sub ... also attempted the watercoloring.
