How to create stamped transparency embellishments for a layout

     Hi everyone! Do you want to have a dip in the pool? Let's try this technique on a layout that will make you want to go into the blue!
     Here is my second photo tutorial for this awesome blog:
     It's not a new idea, but one that we sometimes forget to use, specially on our scrapbooking.
     Let`s begin, shall we?
     Here is the basic stuff you'll need for the technique, the rest is up to you to choose from your stash: a transparency( or acetate),  Staz On Opaque White Cotton Ink , and stamps, I used Hero Arts Circles 124, which I love!

 

 Ink your stamp(s) on the Staz On Ink.

 

Stamp it (them) firmly onto the rough side of the transparency(acetate).

                                             Here is a picture after I stamped all the desired images.

     As all my stamps were circles, I used circle dies to cut the stamped images, but you can also use strong punches ( mine were too weak to "cut it").

                                                    I used a diecut machine to cut all my images.

                                                                 They will look like these.

      I used my Xyron machine to turn the circles into stickers, it's a great tool to adhere transparent objects, since the adhesive does not show ( you can also use spray adhesive or vellum adhesive).

     This is how my layout looks with the transparent images adhered to it. I used navy cardstock and 1 photo and a journaling card.

     Then I punched medium and small circles of a coordinating line of papers. And distributed and adhered them to my page.

                              To finish the layout, I just added the journaling and title, and some buttons.

                                                                   Here is the finished layout.

     Now splash your life with a little water, oh sorry ,crafty fun!!!

These are the main materials for the technique:
