Artistic Journey

Creative Rubber Stamping - A Journal of my Artistic Wanderings
Temecula, California - a little piece of heaven - captured in my yard

My artistic journey has come to mean many things. It's not just the creative results of time spent in my 'art room' - it includes stunning photographs I happen to capture in my lens, as well as moments in life where I'm doing what I love to do.
In the photo below, I'm off the groomed ski run and checking out a bit of woods off trail in beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado.

My new favorite stamp!

I don't know...it just speaks to me...
The stamp is unmounted and so you'll have to have some E-Z cling foam cushion on hand to get it ready for stamping...
I was playing around with it yesterday - trying to create a windy, March Day...
It's a start...


Here I used another new stamp - a modern background stamp from Victorine Origonals... ink used: Versa Mark Chalk ink in Aegean Blue... I find myself reaching for this background stamp again and again...as you can see...

Getting back to the card at hand ... I ended up using the image to create a fun Spring card...
The - "While the March Winds Blow..." image - constitutes the cover, but upon opening the card ... I've included the text: "Scatter Seeds" ... and include a packet of wildflower seeds for the card's recipient to scatter...
