Stamping Transparencies

Transparencies and Acetate products are pretty trendy in Scrapbooking at the moment. I love using them and they're great products to alter slightly using stamping. On this layout, I wanted to use Heidi Swapp ghost letters for their transparent quality, but I also wanted them to have a design on them. What to do? Solution: stamp them, of course!

For the stamping I used my StazOn black ink, and the flourish from the Baroque Motifs stamp set. The letters are a bit slippery, so you have to hold the stamp firmly and be careful not to smudge the image when you stamp. StazOn is great, though, because it can be used on so many different surfaces.

I also stamped the same image onto a clear Stampin' Up! button. Here's some close up pictures so that you get a better idea of the effect:      

The butterfly was for a different page, but it was stamped in the same way with a stamp from the Priceless set.

All products are Stampin' Up!, except the Heidi Swapp ghost letters and butterfly!

Hi Beth, I am new to your blog and have to say that is a great scrapbook page.
The colours, patterns and the clear button look great together.

Thanks so much for the nice comments! I often find that I want to scrap 3 photos together so this kind of layout works. I really like circles, too, so there's heaps of them on my scrapping pages!
