More stamping going on in my house!


Another day stamping. Yeah. I'm trying to get stocked up again on cards. Especially knowing that come the middle of August I'll be back at work and have less time. Today I finished up my 4th of July cards. I made another two designs and got 10 cards out of them. I then pulled out a couple new stamps I bought over the weekend. Of course this design is totally CASED, but I liked how it turned out so thought I'd post it anyway.


The stamps are from Great Impressions. They had a sample board at the LSS in Somanauke. So this is pretty much what theirs looked like. The cat tails/reeds are done on vellum and cut out around the leaves with chalk ink, then the light house stamps and colored with water color pencils and the sky chalked around it with a light blue. My vellum tape actually worked, so that was a good thing. The little thinking of you stamp is from Hero ARts. I found a whole set of these small sentiments while I was unpacking.
We're going to be playing with our Rubber Stamp Tapestry sets next week when I stamp in Champaign, so those will come in handy for adding a small message in the center of our wreaths. I just need to remember to bring them!
I'm going to a crop/stamp on Friday night so will have to find some time tomorrow to figure out what I want to work on. Those things are hard for me to pack for. I'm usually bored with what I've brought after a couple hours.
Oh well back to the stamp room.
