Here is the amazing work from the rest of the talented Stamps Tramps:

From Chelsia Van Wyk

From Erin Grotegut

She used a stamp from the brand new release set… how perfect is that??

And then there is me, I very rudely neglected to introduce myself….”Hi my name is Heather and I am a stamp addict.”  I am the goofy sense of humor behind the stamps and drawings here at Skipping Stones.  Last week I thought to myself “What is the fun of designing your own stamps if you don’t make a little time to play around with them?”  So, here is what I came up with using sketch 4:

On the butterfly( Healing Wings from Skipping Stones Design) I used a technique with colored pencils & mineral spirits. I will post an instructional video on that in the near future. I used a fine point glue pen and some glitter to add bling. Then I inked the edges with twilight on the blues, Tim Holtz Distress Walnuton the darker colors.  I used a technique that give a nice soft look and also allows for blending more than one color seamlessly(again look for another new instructional video on this as well).The rest of the supplies came From CTMH – Emporium papers, twilight ink, bling ect…

Now here is a look at the Blog Candy to be given away after Our first  Big Blog hop January 5th…details to follow in the next few days….
