SYS Day 3 - Alphabet Stamps

I didn't have the suggested stamp set for this one, but I snapped up a similar set on Splitcoast's BST forum for $5 - Contempo Alphabet. Mega bargain! Only problem is, the clear mount would have been infinitely better for making backgrounds, especially with the Fiskars Stamp Press which is number 1 on my wish list. Anyway! For $5 you can't really complain!

100.84







Something doesn't quite work here, I think perhaps my background is a bit TOO pale. I used my favourite Sahara Sand stamped off to make it super pale but I possibly went too far! I'm not sure about the Wild Wasabi embossing either but not to worry!

This one was for Freshly Made Sketches #43:


I made it portrait instead of landscape. Not sure it was my best idea ever but not to worry! Fun sketch.
