I had made a small card ( 3.25x 4.5 inches) with the watercolour piece I did the other day.
I used distress inks stamped onto an acrylic block as I only have 2 re-inkers. You start by embossing the image and then wet it, add a drop of ink and it moves about in the water.
I was pleased with the result.
Finally I am so thrilled to say my stamps from the USA arrived. I ordered some from Simons Says Stamps - and boy were they fast getting here and soooo reasonable. Their postage is so much cheaper than a lot of the online sites in the USA. It took 7 days for them to get here. I did a comparision with a NZ online site and I saved $22NZ and that included the postage!!!! Got 4 stamps - Hero Arts Large Flower ( cling) Delicate Blossom (clear) Music Background (cling) and an Inkadinkado set Tell it Like it is ( clear) - this one is a set of kids quotes - very cute. I won't have time to play before I leave so something to look forward to.
Thanks for visiting.... only 2 more sleeps till I'm away. Sooo excited in case you hadn't guessed!!!!
