TOTW - Stamping on Painted Chipboard

I love the new Riff Raff Monograms...they're the March release...and I had to come up with some new ways of using them aside from the standard paint/Glimmer Mist. I'm really jonesing on the new Prima background stamps, so I thought of putting the two together to see what would come of it!

You will need:
- Chipboard shape (I'm using the new Riff Raff monograms)
- paint (I'm using your basic craft store acrylic)
- A background stamp (I'm using the new Prima brick pattern)
- black ink pad

Step One: Paint your shape the colour of your choice and let it dry. To really allow the pattern of the stamp to show, think about using a lighter colour of paint.


Step Two: Ink up your stamp and apply it to the painted shape. Think of what your pattern looks like before you apply it...if there are there blank spots you'll want to position your stamp on the shape so the stamp's blank spots aren't right on top of your shape!



Step Three: Keep stamping on your shape until it's appropriately covered. And let it dry!


You can further ink the edges of the shape to give a little bit more definition, but otherwise we're done here! The finished layout will be revealed on March 28th...

You could also try:
- stamping in different colours on a white-painted shape
- use a white ink pad to stamp on a dark colour...you'll need to really let that one dry as the white pads are usually super wet!
- use a letter stamp that matches your big chipboard monogram...that would look so cool to have a bunch of little "g"s on my big G!!

Happy Creating!
