Have you taken a peek at Dave's new company, Poppy Stamps?
A sweeter set of images, I'd challenge you to find! Such cute little munchkins...
I got a little sneak peek at some new Poppy Stamp things in a recent box of goodies I got from Dave and immediately wanted to use a sweet little mushroom clear stamp... it's a little peek of good things to come from this exciting new company!
I decided to stamp the mushroom onto an assortment of magazine images. I like to re-use magazines and catalogs because so often the photographs are just so beautiful... it seems a waste to not take advantage of them. My favorite ones to re-purpose this way are Martha Stewart Living, and Pottery Barn and Ballard Design catalogs.
Here are a few of the pages I pulled out to stamp on...
Stick with me, people... that dog's hair looks SO mushroomy... trust me!
And here are some of the mushrooms I stamped, all detail cut and waiting to go on my project.
(I can never believe how messy my work desk is... I really need to take a minute one of these days to scrape off all the dried adhesive and paint on there... but it's a WORK desk, so obviously, I'm not too worried about it! Forgive my messy background here...)
Come back Friday to see what I did with these little cuties.
(And check out the middle mushroom in the top row there - that was stamped on the dog's leg. See???)
And now, go look at your magazines and catalogs and see which images you might be able to use for stamping. I guarantee, you'll start looking at them with new eyes once you begin exploring the possibilities!
