Hi! Welcome to my blog. I’m Sara Levin the artful inker. Today is the Scrapbooking Global May 2019 Blog Hop! Whether you’re starting here or arriving from another blog, you’re in for a treat!


The theme for the May 2019 scrapbook layouts is masculine.
Scrapbooking Global May 2019 Blog Hop

For this masculine themed page,
I took inspiration from THIS card.
You’ll start by laying down your different ink colors
with your Aqua Painter.
Use your Heat Tool to dry each “block” of color
for less warping of the page.
Try to create more organic rather than blocky shapes.

Stamp with the large Garage Gears dies.
Then add a Night of Navy photo mat.
And accent with Copper Foil cut with the Garage Gears die.

TIP:
To stamp with your die on a scrapbook page,
attach one of your Stamparatus magnets to the non-cutting side.
Use your washi handle to help you tap the die on your ink pad.
With your cardstock on your Stampin’ Pierce Mat,
press the die against the cardstock to add some fun texture!
If my creations inspire some of your purchases,
please make some of your purchases in my store.
