Hampton Arts...

I got a note from the big boss at Hampton Art last week. They are cutting me back to five samples per month. This is good and bad. Good, because I'll have time to get caught up on some other things. Bad, because it is cutting my money in half. But it's better than none at all!

Since I had already finished seven when she told me, she said to do three more then take February off. That works for me, and in the meantime, hopefully Michael's will pick up some new images at CHA in February.

I am thinking that these first two might be overly simplistic. But that is what some stampers are looking for:
For this one, I dusted off a technique that I haven't used in a LONG time. Ultra-thick embossing powder, and stamping into it.

Simple is often elegant. My favorite is the embossing powder stamping.

The simple ones are beautiful none the less. You're right - that's what many people will look for. I love that embossing powder technique - haven't done it in a while.

I particularly love the embossing powder technique you did too! Isn't it fun to revisist the basics from time to time?
Great job!

Sorry to hear they cut you back. But now you'll have more time to play.
