I’m one of those stampers who don’t mind rubber or photopolymer stamps. What is more important to me is the quality. Both types of stamps have their benefits and shortcomings.

Brushstroke Paper Is Lightweight
If you saw yesterday’s blog post you’ll know that project happened as a follow-on from something else I’d made. Then it was the ink colour used on a bookmark that inspired the subsequent card.

Happy retirement Dale, your wit and wisdom will ... VIEW POST

So while it was on my mind I pulled out the catalogues and added some to my order. Now I just have to wait patiently for them to arrive. SWEET ... VIEW POST
