~{Sponge, Spritz and Stamp}~

Sponge, Spritz and Stamp

That's what I'm calling the following technique!

I wanted to create a pretty background to show off these stamps, and had great fun in the process!

• Using a sponge and 3 inkpad colours of your choice, cover a sheet of very Vanilla Cardstock.
• Fill a Spritzer bottle with water, and spray the entire sheet with an even covering of water, use a heat tool to dry if you can't wait (turn the card upside down and heat if it starts to curl).
• Stamp the card with whatever stamps and colours you would like.
• Stamp some with Versamark, add embossing powder (I used white)and heat.

~{Introducing...}~

...an easier way to stamp!

Stampin' Up! is a company dedicated to quality, and for this reason has held off from producing any of their stamps in anything other than rubber.  However, they've been listening to the customers and have been testing and trying out stamps made from photopolymer.

So, I am pleased to announce that for this month only there are 4 stamp sets available for FREE with a £60 order.  There are new special offers every week this month too, so have fun browsing in my shop and earn yourself a freebie!
