I so hope she loves it... the colors and all seemed to call for a more crisp look... it was hard not to add ink...I hope it was the right choice...~~Jeannie

Stamped Stamp



Shelly used this cut from Base Camp and it inspired me to use a technique I used a couple of years ago... I learned it from a Scrapbook Solutions CD... you can't find these anymore and they had great ideas... I masked the stamp edges off... then used several stamps on the "stamp cut out"... the butterflies I stamped first and cut out... then I stamped them on the white stamp... masked them off with the cut out butterflies and stamped the rest of the images on top... at last removing the cut out butterflies....I hope this made sense to you...
