Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday. Pamela has chosen for #167 Kissing Technique (stamps) Please visit the blog for more details and to see the wonderful ideas from the design team.

I made a 5" sq white card wuth a dark blue mat. the sentiment stamps is from The Works. I used an Anita's Block stamp using Versafine Clair Bluebell ink, it was kissed with a texture stamp from Creative eExpressions, but sadly it is not as perfect as it was intended, but I am forever hearing there is no such thing as perfect in art, so I'm going with it. Hope you enjoy playing with thids technique. Have fun.
