stamp review crew: drybrush

Hello crafty friends! I am happy to be back hopping with the Stamp Review Crew again. I am honored to kick things off as the first stop on today’s blog hop. If you started on another design team member’s blog, be sure to make your way through the full blog roll. You don’t want to miss any of the inspiration that awaits! Today the fun background stamp Drybrush is taking center stage!

It can be hard to let a background stamp take the spotlight. So, I tried a couple of different approaches. First I went for a neutral color with a bit of color to accent.

The sentiment is from the So Much Love stamp set. Die cuts are from Well Written and the retired Stitched Labels.

Next, I tried adding multiple colors to the Drybrush stamp for a bolder look.

I used Coastal Cabana, Bumblebee, Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral. I just swiped the ink pads across the stamp in different areas. You can get some fun shading where colors overlap. I used a stitched circle and the Playful Alphabet to made a fun little shaker circle to finish it off.

Time to send you on to check out some more great projects featuring this great background stamp. Head on over to Nikki and check out her awesome creations! If you are hopping backwards pop on over to Betty and her wonderful projects!
