Rubber Stamping

I am fairly new to the world of rubber stamping; I have a few odds and ends of stamps and had used them sparingly on a couple of projects but had not really used stamping as the main focus of pieces of art.
Then, on a visit with my daughter, I was introduced to a large volume of stamps all in one place! I had read a lot on the topic and had lots of ideas - so I began to play.

Here are the first cards I created.

My First Cards

Stampin' Up The floral is all of a set stamped in layers. Sentiment from another Stampin' Up set.

Stampin' Up Bits and pieces from several sets have been combined. Details added with markers.

Stampin' Up Stamped on vellum and heat embossed in silver. colored with markers on back. Backed with aluminum foil. Sides folded under. Mounted with doublestick tape.

Then I bought more stamps and tried out some different techniques.
