Sew Many Ways to say they're special


When looking for stamps for my next project to share with you from Viva Las Vegastamps! I spotted these fantastic vintage photo-image stamps. They are stunning. I could not stop at just one or two, I needed the entire plate! They are the perfect size for Artist Trading Cards [ATCs], and the sentiments on the plate lend themselves not only to artjournaling and cardmaking, but also to memory keeping. With Mother's Day just around the corner, I thought I would share a quick technique and a few cards that could be used for sending to Mom or a special woman in your life. Hop on over to the Viva Las Vegastamps! blog and check out my techniques!


Thank you for looking at my fun projects with these beautiful vintage photo-stamps.

ATC fun with Mary Vogel Lozinak Stamps

This fun little guy is part of a plate of Mary Vogel Lozinak stamps that I recently purchased from Viva Las Vegastamps! I love how interesting this particular image is...I immediately stamped it and tried to decipher what it was....I could see several possibilities in the stamps. I hope you enjoy my project and click on the link below to learn how you can be a part of a Blog Hop featuring Mary Vogel Lozinak's stamps!! 
For these ATCs:


cardstock
Perfect Pearls
Distressed Ink in Frayed Burlap
Crayola Watercolors
Archival Ink by Ranger
saying printed on paper
Sakura of America White Gelly Roll

By coloring just part of the image the "critter"
resembles a one-eyed, one-horned fledgling.
By coloring the whole "critter" green, he
resembles a toad or a prehistoric iguana!
