I'm sure we all like a bargain and a friend kindly told me about a company who have a sale of some of their stamps at the moment so of course I couldn't resist a small purchase.(See link below) They don't seem to show details of the sizes of the stamps on the website so I was pleasantly surprised to see that the ones I ordered are mostly larger than I imagined they would be. The one I've used here would easily fit onto a DL size card although I used it on a 6" square allowing it to overhang. I started by masking off part of a piece of card and blended three colours of Distress Oxide ink to make a border. This was dried thoroughly before stamping in black and clear embossing. I then used a fine paintbrush and a little water to lift colour from some of the small areas within the stamp. A simple sentiment finishes this CAS card.
