Just wanted to show you all a subtle way of creating a background for your layout, that doesn't take away from your photos.

If your into embossing, I'm sure you will already have one of these...

VersaMark is a must for any scrapbooker, of any experience level.There so many different things you can use it for, but today I am displaying it's most basic Watermark technique.

It is as simple as dabbing your stamp into the sticky pad and stamping away.

Here is my layout....

a close up of my watermark stamping (yes this did take a bit of time lol)

Ingredients Used:

Stamps: Big Deal Alphabet, Calender Alphabet & Numbers

Ink: Versamark

Cardstock: Kraft

Designer Series Paper: Kaleidoscope (Summer Mini)

Accessories: Stampin' Write Marker (Not Quite Navy, Creamy Caramel), Brads, Embossing Power (clear), Hemp Twine, Paper Piercing Tool

Adhesive: Stampin' Dimensionals, Tombo Mono Glue

This watermark technique works so well with all different types of stamps, so why not give it a whirl.

If you haven't got a VersaMark Stamp Pad ($13.95 plus p/h) contact you Demonstrator or if you don't have one please feel free to give one of us a call... we are here to supply the you with your stamping goodness..

Till next time,

Tanja Westwood
