Shelli stretches her stamping dollar by using one stamp for every page in a single album. While red and green were used on this page, she varies the colors throughout.

Materials:

letter and motif stamps of choice
white card stock
red card stock
VersaMark pad
journaling markers
chalk set
scallop scissors
stylus tool
brass template
sponge daubers
waxed paper

	Figure B

1. Stamp flower stems or other motif with VersaMark ink onto white cardstock border, then apply garden green chalk by daubing over the VersaMark ink. Shake off excess chalk.

2. Stamp title using VersaMark ink, then daub red chalk over the VersaMark ink (figure A). Shake off excess chalk.

3. Stamp the flower with VersaMark ink to match up with the stems and daub red ink over the design, repeating the technique in steps 1-2.

4. Rub waxed paper over the back of the red card stock to help the stylus move smoothly. Use the stylus and brass template to make a background on the card stock by rubbing over the flower image on the template (figure B).

5. Mount photos and trim bottom edge with Scallop Scissors. Attach top and bottom stamped strips to finish the page.
