March Stamp of the Month Art # 3

Art by Becky Mackenstadt

Texture is the name of the game!  Close To My Heart's Embossing Folders provide a major piece of eye candy here.  The crisp lines of texture there provide a contrast to the intentionally "smeared" sentiment, stamped with our White Daisy Ink.  Junebug Puffies are ADORABLE little embellishments, that are available through March ONLY while supplies last!

March Stamp of the Month Art # 1

 Art by Julie Reynolds

I used a BT Duo from our "Seaside" paper pack for the matting on this "wall hanging."  Then cut out the frame and mounted it with Thin 3D Foam Tape, for dimension.  I love the two little free-flowing line stamps that work well for balloon strings, scribble lines, or as shown here - like a string hanger.
