Stamping with Magic Mesh CindyC † OH
Stamp Artist - CindyC † OH	This is an 8½ x11" collage I did for my sister of her lake.  The Magic Mesh is placed on top of black cardstock, (representing a net of course), to show better. The glossy picture is an actual picture of her lake stamped with Stampin Up stamps (for the most part). The bobber is done with polyshrink and a jumbo paper punch.  Colored with markers. The stamped nautilus was done UTEE with Powdered Pearls added.  The fish was stamped with a Kaleidacolor pad on white cardstock. The worm is a fake bait hooked and strung with fishing line. Water scalloped with Fiskars. All placed on white cardstock . Stamps other than Stampin Up, are um's and unknown.

Stamping with Magic Mesh Kathy LaRocco
Stamps: lg African rug - Jim Stephen stamps, African cube - Judi Kins papers: black, ruby red, Dottie Ann’s Magic Mesh. INKS: Versamark pad, bronze pigment ink, metallic powders and metallic rub ons. Instructions: The powders were affixed to the background black card stock with bronze pigment ink and then fixed with a matte fixative. This technique has been described on your site. The African rug was stamped with Versamark ink onto black card stock (which had been torn) and then brushed with the metallic powders. It was then sealed with the fixative. The African cube was stamped on the red card stock with Versamark and then brushed with powders and fixed. The panels were then glued together and the embellishments were added. The magic mesh was rubbed with pigment ink and then brushed with the powders.  The branch was colored with the rub ons.	Stamp Artist - Kathy LaRocco

Stamping with Magic Mesh Monica Whitcher
"On Safari" Stamp Artist - Monica Whitcher	I started out with green cardstock and stamped "Tiger Print" from Rubber Stampede with Versamark and embossed.  On beige cardstock I stamped the Magenta frame with green and rust pigment pads and embossed and cut out. I mounted the large green frame.  Then I used tan magic mesh behind the smaller rust frame and mounted.  Then I glued on a zebra charm with Duo glue and entwined copper wire through the mesh.  I stamped a Hero Arts "Greeting Background" with rust and "On Safari" with green and poked the wire through that and mounted it onto the card with duo, also.

	Homemade Mesh! Submitted by Janet Ciaramitaro
"I Believe" Stamp Artist - Janet Ciaramitaro	To make your own mesh, use wall repair tape (get it at the hardware store).  It's sticky on one side, and you can use that stickiness to attach embossing powder or glitter.  Here, I used embossing powder on the non-sticky side, then embossed to get a full, rich color.  It makes a GREAT new and interesting background for your stamps - especially the "stitched" and/or rustic types of stamps.
