I won a gift certificate to the Stampsmith Store in a random draw at The Stampsmith blog. Talk about a tough time deciding! All of their stamps are beautiful and detailed beyond belief! Thank you Estelle and Lynn I just love these stamps! Not only did she send me the stamps I ordered, she sent me 4 extras too! Well, I guess you can you tell Marilyn is my favorite, I just couldn't wait to ink her up, I had to use her first! She is so beautiful, I love how she is shaded so beautifully and you can actually see the tulle dress. I did not do any coloring, I just rolled her with a brayer and stamped her out! I just wish she had been a Mother, since that is the challenge at Stampsmith Challenge, but that's OK I have quite a few more that I will be able to use for the Mothers challenge. Here is a teaser of the cool images I got from Stampsmith.
I love working with full sheets of stamps too, they are so easy to mount on to the cling cushion and with so little waste. I buy my cling cushion at Stampers Best, there is a coupon in my sidebar, if you use it, you will get 10% off and I get a few pennies for referring you too. It is excellent cushion and very reasonably priced too.
Thanks for looking, and thank you again Stampsmith. ~Diane
Enjoy your lovely new stamps! I know that feeling about not being able to wait to start inking up! Hugs, Valerie
