Thanks ~ FS102

I have been wanting to try some reverse masking with the brayer recently and the Featured Stamper Challenge #102 on Splitcoaststampers gave me the perfect opportunity to do so. One of JayDeKay's cards displayed this technique, so I cased it...obviously, I need a little more practice, but it was a fun technique. If you would like to try it and need a little guidance, go to Dawn's Stamping Thoughts and check out her Stampin' Studio for a video tutorial on the reverse masking technique.





Stamps: Kindred Spirits, Thank You Kindly

A Very Merry Christmas ~ BIC33

This photo that Beate posted for the Be Inspired Challenge #33 was just what I needed tonight to get the "stamping bug" again. I love the earthy tones and the mellow vibe this photo gives, yet it still has a feeling of celebration.



Check out the clear embossing with my new Kindred Spirits stamp set! Love it!
