Hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday !! I love rubber stamps , and thought I would share some things you can do with them ! This Dressform stamp is a favorite !

You can also use the shrink film for embellishments on a card, tag or scrapbook page ! Your imagination can soar !! For card makers , it is perfect , I used a die from Altered Pages , stamped the image and used copic markers for color and then distressed with inks and  blending tool  ! A ribbon added for some texture ! Last project is a collage, can be for a journal or just an art collage ! Stamped my image and added papers and embellishments. I have to stop myself sometimes or I keep going ! For the above I also used the Punchinella , for background !If you dont have any , you should , it can be used over and over and on so ...
