Use it Tuesday #44 Uninked Stamp

Its the 4th Tuesday of the month which means its time for another Use it Tuesday challenge!  This time we are asking you to use an uninked stamp.  This was another fun one.  I know I often say that with the Use it Tuesday Challenges, but I find its true when you dig out treasures you forgot you had!  Here is what I came up with:

The stamp is a large background stamp from Hampton Art called "Woman Collage/Passport".  I bought it at Michael's on sale some time ago because I thought it was really pretty, and it sat in my stamp drawer collecting dust because I wasn't really sure what to do with it.  It's so big after all   I've taken it out on occasion to try and gain some inspiration but I was never successful until now.

This time I decided to just sit down and play with it until I got something that I liked.  Easy enough right?  I stamped the image diagonally on a manila tag and sat down to work.  I used some water based markers and my water brush to add some colour to the butterflies and the lady's face.

I then blended some inks over the top, masked the face, and sprayed a few mists.  Once the tag was dry I used some old bubble wrap from Christmas last year to stamp some white paint.  I didn't want it to be bright white so once the paint dried I added some creamy brown ink over the top.   I then cut the tag down to size and matted it.

For the background I decided to stay with my inky theme and used some Pink Paislee Mistables.  I blended some ink onto the patterned paper and sprayed it with more mists.  Once dry I added some banner cut ribbon, adhered it to the card front, foam taped the image, and layered the rest of my elements.

This was a really fun card where I got to play with ink, sprays, and paint.  Don't you want to play too?  Simply dig out one of your unused stamps and get stamping!  Create your project and link it up at Use it Tuesday by December 7th.  You could earn a chance to play along with us as a guest designer!  

And please, don't forget to include in your post what hoarded products you've used!!  Even if we love your project forgetting this step will mean you are not eligible!
