Creative artist Jill Miller combines rubber stamping and chalking to create motion on a sports-themed page. Materials: Chalks
Large cyclist stamp (or other sports stamp)
White inkpad
Sage green cardstock
Eraser
- First, use sports stamp and white ink to stamp in a cascading pattern 4 times from upper left corner to lower right. Press stamp firmly against surface (figure A) -- stand if necessary -- then allow images to dry for a few minutes.
- Then, use fingers to rub 3 chalk colors across the stamped image (figure B ). Apply the first three colors, then apply another band of the second and first colors. (The colors will be repeated in the following pattern: 12321.) Repeat technique for remaining stamped images.
- Use eraser to remove chalk in long sweeping lines (figure C) to add movement to the stamped sports figure.
- Use craft knife to cut around a portion of each figure so that photo corners can be inserted (figure D).
- Finally, spray with acid-free fixative to set the background, then adhere matted photos and journaling card. For this example, Miller photocopied her journaling onto a clear transparency before adding it to the finished page (figure E).
