I feel on top of the world when I play…so I captured that feeling with rubber stamps from Viva Las Vegas Stamps and StencilGirl stencils! Today is day 5 of the hop and it is loaded with inspiration! There are 2 great prizes so be sure to check the end of this post for details and leave a comment to be entered!
Check out the video that shows how I use unmounted stamps, what the new Fude pen is like (and how I mispronounce it), isolating parts of a stencil, and more!
Watch On Top of World Playing with Rubber Stamps and Stencils on YouTube.
If you enjoy rubber stamps, you can find all sorts of inspiration over on the Viva Las Vegas Stamps blog!
Mary Nasser’s Around the World Latitude stencil sets the stage. I had every intention of having lots of whits space…almost. I just couldn’t resist color. I know – you’re shocked.
There’s a little white space left…but not for long…

Lovely and colourful
Such a fun cover !!! Lovely!
OH golly, this is absolutely darling!!! It’s so fun and whimsical, yet also has a worldly sophistication to it!! Marvelous!!! 😀 Thanks for sharing your wonderful project for the final day of this GREAT week!!!
love to see your work especially on video thanks for sharing
That’s really cute…and upbeat, Carolyn. Love the colours.
So fun, Carolyn!!
Thank you for incorporating Around the World Latitude into this page! 🙂
That is an awesome journal page! White space is highly overrated in my world too. (I like how you left a little in the corner just to please people who are partial to it.) lol Outlining the images makes such a difference to the overall look of the page, doesn’t it? I will have to give it a try. I like the lovely large animals in their beautiful colours (must be mating season) 😀
Thank you for sharing your fun and whimsical page!
Love your use of color and sense of adventure in creating your page – just enjoying the process and the outcome is fantastic!
Carolyn! Your videos always crack me up. Thanks for sharing your humor and play! Have a great holiday weekend.
Carolyn you are such a hoot! So happy for a new video. I love your rainbow animal play page 🙂
So many tips! I love this FUN page 🙂 I am so very proud of you for your fussy cutting–I know it isn’t your favorite but it made this page perfect!
