Hello stamping friends! It's Teresa Abajo here to share a couple of projects I made using the new Bunting Border Stamp.
The first thing I need to say is that these stamps are BIIIIG! They're big enough to go across an entire 12" x 12" page, so that's super handy for scrapbookers and us art journalers. There's a dedicated stamping block available too, so they're as easy to use as any smaller stamp.
My first project is an art journal page:
I stamped the bunting across my A4 page three times, then with the help of three large Post-It Notes, I masked off each pennant and stamped a Texture stamp pattern into it. The page was then coloured with watered down Dylusions paints:
I decided to add some words, so I stamped the Happy Quote stamp onto a blank page from an old book. I glued these on, then decided to drag out the sewing machine and add some stitching. I then found some "-ing" words in the text of the book, cut them out and stuck them on to the bottom left hand corner of the page:
I traced around the page and each pennant with a water soluble graphite pencil, painted over this with an Aquash brush, and added some graphite spatters to the page to complete it.

My next project makes use of the large size of this stamp to create an extra large card - it measures 6" x 12" when folded. I often make these large cards for birthdays etc when the card is coming from a large group of people.
I folded a 12" x 12" piece of cream cardstock in half, then trimmed 1/8 inch off each side of some 12" x 12" patterned paper. I glued these together along the front near the spine, then stamped the Bunting border onto some coordinating patterned paper three times. I fussy cut each of these strips out, then stuck them to the card front and carefully wrapping each strip around the back of the card.
I then decorated the front with little roses and pearls. I stamped and gold embossed the Mesh Texture stamp, and added the 'enjoy' word and butterfly to the bottom right hand corner.
