Glitter Girl challenge: using stamps as backgrounds.

Hi and welcome to a lovely sunny Somerset, and the latest Glitter Girl challenge. This week she has challenged us to use stamps as backgrounds. In the video, GG used proper background stamps but sadly I don't have any so I improvised. Here is the video:




So as I have been making my craft room I came across two photographs taken about 5 years ago when I first moved to Somerset and my mum and I went to see The Red Arrows do flyover across their local shopping outlet Clarke's village. And here is my page:

 I had a chevron, arrow stamp from a magazine so I stamped an arrow background using both red and blue inks as these are the predominant colours The Red Arrows plume from their planes. I then layered my two photos onto some red paper and added some red and blue Washi tapes across the bottom and underneath the layered photos.

I then addedd two other areas of Washi tape and added some stamped arrows from Sn@p to continue to theme. I used 3 different letter stickers but looking back I feel I really needed some larger red stickers for the word ''Red''. I then punched some circles from blue and white patterned paper and found some wooden planes in a Studio Calico collection to add to the centres. The small flags under the circles are from Jenni Bowlin and I wanted them to look a bit like medals. The star stickers are also from Jenni Bowlin. I also added some blue and red sprintz.

I also added some hand embroidery using Amy Tangerine's stensil set. I will be doing a review/tutorial about these later.......................
