Hi everyone,
We have another exciting week here at The Crafter’s Workshop as we are partnering with Viva Las VegaStamps to bring you many projects with stamps and stencils!
Viva Las VegaStamps makes and sells deeply etched pink rubber stamps. And they have so MANY different subjects, styles and patterns…I’ve been to their store before and believe me, I’ve never seen so many stamps in one place!
I decided to make layout about a place I’d like to visit but haven’t yet been to…Greece! And it’s on my bucket list!

I used stamps from Plate 880:
VLVS Two Columns, VLVS Steampunk Flying Greek, VLVS Drunken Baby/Cherub
And from The Crafter’s Workshop I used:
TCW438 City Grid, TCW487s Alhambra, and TCW471s Positive
Here’s how I went about making this page:
Stamp entire background using two different shades of grey.
Mix a paste of super heavy gesso and black gesso to get grey and apply paste over TCW438 City Grid.
When paste is dry, lay down the stencil again and apply crackle medium.
Heat emboss VLVS stamped images and cut out.
Cut out shapes on vellum paper (I used my Cameo) and decorate them with Positive and Alhambra stencils and chalk ink.
Now you have your background and main embellishments!
See what fun you can have with Vivs Las VegaStamps and The Crafter’s Workshop!
