The Stampsmith

It has been a long time from my last post. Sometimes life just gets in the way and throws you a curve ball. Here is just one of my favorite stamp companies......The Stampsmith. The Stampsmith is known for super-realistic photo images that when stamped look exactly like a photograph. I find that using Archival Ink in either Jet Black or Sepia on Glossy Card Stock I get the best images. Some images I just leave black and white and others I color using chalks or I use my Distressed Markers from Tim Holtz. I hope you enjoy these pieces. Thanks Estelle for your wonderful stamps. Hugs, Laurie
