Just got some more Wendy's latest stamp sets and this one caught my eye because I just love the houses stamps and it works perfectly with them!  This week on the EWV Yahoo group the Making Art27  challenge is to use a small stamp repeatedly as a background stamp.  It's hard to see but I've stamped the sentiment in Snow Cap pigment ink, heat set, then smudged green and blue distress inks over it so it's more of a ghost image in the background.  I did stamp over one of them with Cobalt archival ink for easier recognition and felt it worked into my design plan.
