Painting Backgrounds

with Stamp Pads

1.

Create the sky.

Press the applicator onto the

lightest color inkpad and then, using a smooth,

circular motion, apply the color to the page. Hold

the page firmly with your nondominant hand.

Repeat the process using similar shades of the

pale color, overlapping one on top of the other.

After you apply three or four different shades, put

the original lightest color on your applicator and

smooth any uneven areas.

2.

Create the mountains.

Switch to a darker palette,

or create your own like the one shown here

(made with Colorbox inkpads). Starting with the

lightest shades of the darker palette, paint the first

mountain. Then, using the medium shades, paint a

second mountain. Finally, create a third mountain

closest to you by using the darkest shades.

Stamp pads can be used to create translucent, colorful

backgrounds, which are wonderful for Bible journaling as they

don’t obscure the text and you can write on top of them without

clogging your pen. Additionally, if you are using a pigment inkpad,

the ink won’t bleed through, so there is no need to prep the page.

(See page 28 for information about page prep.) This technique

works best when you blend several shades of a color together

with a dauber or sponge. To create a scene like the one in this

example, you’ll need two or more shades for each color group

(sky, mountains, water, and trees). Always start with your lightest

colors, and put the darker colors on top.
