This is my project:
(As you know if you are a craft blogger... so dang hard to photograph sparkly things!)
Supplies:
- Card from a sale-buy last summer. I had a bunch of this green left.
- Stamp carved using Speedball Speedy-carve using Speedball and Flexcut tools. That shape is the lake my town is on: Lake Almanor. A stack of these will go to the local bookstore.
- Here's the stashy part: the embossing ink and powder used was from a purchase 2 or 3 years ago. I believe the ink and powder came in a Ranger Letter-It set that was on sale at Michael's in Reno. Fabulous glittering stuff!
Thanks for visiting. Visit my SOS cohorts for much more inspiration!
I love that you make your own stamps! And this one is so awesome, with you incorporating your local lake shape into it!

Wow, you made the stamp? What a great idea, Jo x
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on carving your stamp, it takes a lot of dexterity to pull it off, and still having fingers. Awesome card. (I bought a box of card bases and envies at the goodwill store, makes for a quick card.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! You carved this stamp!!!?? I didn't know you could do this but, even if I did, I don't think I could pull it off! You definitely need to have a keen eye to give it the shape you want.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous way to put your Lake on our map, and yes, yes, sparkly images are a pain to photograph, but I can see the shine on your card.
Awesome card Mimi.
