Hip Hop Thursday! More Marah!

Good morning and good day!  If you're here for the UNITY HIP HOP  - WELCOME!

Today, just as last week, I am THRILLED to show you MORE work with my Marah Johnson stamps from Unity Stamp Co.  This time, stamping on CANVAS!  I see stamping as a way to add interest to my layouts.  Usually, my stamping will be subtle, not so much the focal point, but the backdrop for my layout, helping tie in a theme.  This time, it's ART.

Here is the stamp set I used:

Art & Soul

-art, create, nurture quote

Here is a close up of the canvas, bought from my local fabric store, and spritzed with SHIMMERZ (rock-a-fella blue, razzle dazzle berry, and fiery fiesta).  I used a juicy ink to make sure that the ink transferred well onto the canvas (VersaFine Vintage Sepia Pigment Ink by Tsukineko).

I often like to have a small little focal point off the main page somewhere, and I had some extra canvas lying around.  Here is the cute little corner "Create Color".

Oh for the love of flowers.  I had this PRIMA vine of flowers staring at me for the last 2 months, and it was only at the end of the layout that I saw it and made the connection that the colors were PERFECT for the palette on the page.

Thanks Mom for the sewing machine!  I'm taking good care of it while you're off traveling the world!  I've been sewing on MOST of my projects lately, and have grown to love the zig zag stitch!  I also pleated (although horribly) this piece of canvas.
