blog candy, and a TMTA


I received my Design Team package today from Inka and found that she had sent me the beautiful flake set of stamps.




I already had this set so I am giving away my new set as blog candy!

The stamps can be seen in use on this ATC I have made for TMTA, where the theme is staples. I decided to use the staples to attach this gorgeous Acetate image, and the poem that I stamped onto acetate.
The backgound is a thick layer of gesso, which I stamped into with a crackle stamp for texture.
I have stamped and embossed the snowflakes onto the image.

To be in with a chance of winning this set of snowflake stamps, all you need to do is leave a comment on this post and I will do a draw (using a random number generator) monday 3rd November at 9pm GMT. I will also include this ATC as part of the prize, but don't let that put you off!!

    Your ATC is gorgeous, and I love the soft effect of the gesso on the background. I agree with Paula otherwise- I would love to win the ATC but wouldn't say no to the stamps, too ;)

    Joanne...I love what you did with the stamps...it is amazing to see them in stamp form and then used...they become so much more, especially in your hands! Inka is lucky to have you as a memeber of their design team.
