I bought this stamp, second-hand, from someone who had not used in a very long time. I think I paid only $2.00 for it. I'm at a point in my stamping where I like to color in images. So, this Pansy Patch stamp by Stampendous was right up my alley. When I first started stamping, sometimes the colors the manufacturer uses on the 'index image' would throw me off. But, I had to learn to look past that, and think of the possibilities of the image and rubber (and not be misled by the colors on the index image). I used prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits to color it in. The sentiment is by Stampin Up (Lots of Thoughts). I ran the green background through my Cuttlebug; as well as the pink panel that's behind the pansies. I love pop-dots. I can't live without my pop-dots or mounting foam. I gave the pansies added dimension by placing pop-dots beneath them. Thank you for stopping by, and I wish you a wonderful Sunday!
