no rules, just happy crafting
Cleaning and organizing I found this little card that I made featuring Tim Holtz stamps, and a photo. Photo cards aren’t usually my thing, but I’m thinking about doing some for Mother’s Day (which is fast approaching) and this just reminded me I ought to get to it!
One of my favorite things to do is to add water to an image stamped with distress ink. I love the blurry, faded results that are always unique. Love how that helped me make my route 66 background on this card.

Who loves Hero Arts stamps? This girl!!!
I have been playing with some of the new 2013 releases, and let’s just say I am blown away and totally in love!! Really you could chose any of them and be happy, and I’m excited to have a selection already to play with. I used three of my favorite stamps on the card you see above. But really for a closer look, and for some stamp-spiration I’m going to share a video walking through my happy new stash of stamps, plans I have for them, and ideas too:

That charcoal ink pad so far is my #1 of the year! Serious love there. You can find all of the new Hero 2013 offerings at Simon Says Stamp.
These stamps are just getting warmed up – I have lots of plans for them! I wish you a long weekend of very happy crafting!
