Stamping with Distress Stains

Happy Saturday!

I've been struggling with my mojo again - happening more and more often lately. I guess you could say I'm getting used to it. The one good thing about having no mojo? It gives me plenty of time to check out blogs and videos, and eventually something inspires me and gets the juices flowing again. This time it was videos from Shari Carroll. I love when she uses blues and browns in her designs, so I grabbed my Distress Stains and used them on the new, Hero Arts, Leafy Vines stamp.

After randomly swiping the Distress Stains onto the stamp, I spritzed with water before stamping the image.

I've been gearing up for Valentine's Day at work. Getting all my orders in, checking and re-checking to make sure I'm ready for the big day! I am honestly not looking forward to all the work involved with cutting each bouquet that comes in (it's hundreds!) It took us eight hours last year to do all that cutting. Once that part of it is finished though, it is such a relief! I'm hoping to take a couple of photos to share with you again. 

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for the visit! :)

Triple Stamping

Hi there!

I saw this fun (new to me) technique the other day over on Splitcoast stampers called, Triple Stamping. I couldn't wait to give it a try!

I used Hero Arts Shadow Inks in Soft Pool, Mid-tone Pool and the new Mid-tone Navy, to stamp the Everything Flowers onto three different sized panels. Then I backed each piece with black cardstock before piecing it all back together.

I hope everyone has a fun weekend! I'm looking forward to warmer weather coming our way!

Thanks for stopping by! :)



Thanks for looking! :)
