Are you a Pinterest Addict? I sure am! I had to set a daily, limited, time allowance so that I can actually get things done each day. One of my boards is for hand carved stamp patterns, which is an art project I love to do, especially when I see the end results. A couple of weeks ago I carved a few small stamps to use for my other addiction---art journals. I had to experiment with adding color to these stamped images, so I decided to use watercolor. I stamped the image on a Strathmore "Toned Tan" sketch paper first, then I painted an area with cobalt turquoise and stamped again. I have to say I like the painted background image the best. It's more dramatic!

I am too Cindy! It's been a long time since I visited your blog..I'm going to have to do some catching up.
Love your stamp! I just got some of the pink rubber, but am still afraid to screw it up, ao I haven't done anything with it yet.
