It's been a while

...since my last post. It's not that I haven't been scrapping. I just wasn't taking photos of my work lately. Anyway, just want to share the latest addition to my stamp collection. These are all from Penny Black, and I love them. I like that the images are colored, unlike all my other stamps which are just black. Don't they look great on display?

I made a birthday card for my dad using the owl stamp. I stamped on white cardstock using brown ink and extended the branch using a pen. Then I colored using Copic Markers and cut out the stamped image. The card was embossed using Cuttlebug embossing folder. I also distressed the card using Ranger Distress Inks. 

I glued the stamped owl on the card and used foam adhesive on the owl body to add dimension.

Thanks for looking!

The Art of Rubber Stamping

I fell in love with stamping when Mia and Tin had a stamping demo during one of the Pinoyscrapbookers EBs. That was truly a life-changing moment. Well, more like wallet-changing moment. Laugh.

Since then, I've been collecting stamps - both rubber and acrylic. Last year, my collection grew drastically that I had to re-organize my storage space to make sure they are all visible so I can actually use them. So here is my growing collection of wood-mounted rubber stamps. My clear stamps are stored separately. Admittedly, I have not used more than 50% of these stamps. But I will! Soon!
