I'm trying to put ink to a more of my stamps that haven't been used in quite a while...or not ever. Gasp! This is a set from Rubber Stamp Tapestry (maker of peg stamps) called Cherry Blossoms that I enjoy using. Not only did I not use the suggested colors I didn't use the suggested type of ink (pigment). Distress inks being my favorite 'go to' ink that's what I used in Peeled Paint, Walnut Stain, Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge. A bit of Diamond Stickles and you've got a dynamite card. The center lace panel was cutth a Martha Stewart punch. The vellum butterfly, also a Martha Stewart 'anywhere on the page' punch, was run through a script embossing folder (Provocraft).Sunday, February 20, 2011
Cherry blossoms
While those in Washington, DC and similar areas may be seeing the cherry blossoms soon, we here in central IL sure won't. Though the weather has been quite mild of late it is still February. And since these don't look like cherry blossoms, it doesn't really matter anyway.
