Kinda Eclectic Scrapbook page: display sample

Hi friends, I have another display stamper project for you using the Kinda Eclectic stamp set.  The photo is one of my favorites from our recent trip to Italy.  We visited a gorgeous vineyard in Tuscany and the seting couldn't have been more beautiful.  I tried to capture the natural beauty of the scenery in the colors, textures and images I chose for this page:
I think you can figure out all the elements I used...the Flowerpot DSP, Skinny Alphabet stamps and Crushed Curry embossing powder for the sunbursts.  I did fussy cut the leaves but it wasn't really that difficult, I promise!  You might be wondering how I got that cool word polka dot background though...wanna see it closer?
Did you guess yet?  I used the Dots Decorative Mask as a stencil--I laid it on my cardstock and then using Crumb Cake ink, stamped the Dictionary background stamp through the circles.  I have to say I was quite please with myself!  Recently, I have seen other demos using markers to color in the dots and doodling all sorts of things and I think that's just genius!  I just stamped through the hole for a stenciled effect.  Simple!

I hope you liked my scrapbook page today...join me again on Sunday when I will be back stamping with my Paper Players pals.  Until then, have a great weekend!
