I shall just have to forgo the frisson of holding & using a stamp set that once belonged to the (in)famous Susan Raihala ;)<br />Last time you made wonderful cards with this stamp I knew I was in the presence of a genius and these two prove it. I would never have figured out how to use this image if I had forever (which I don't!).<br />You are just too clever (only joking) but you really are the business.<br />TFSChristine Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11033189750665972777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-89691613355319543302010-02-26T04:56:10.112-05:002010-02-26T04:56:10.112-05:00I saw this again in the catalogue today and wonder...I saw this again in the catalogue today and wondered if I would REALLY use it if I bought it.

He loved it! I had to fiddle a lot to find the right amount of light vs dark and had to try and make words fit. It was a challenge, but a great one!

I saw this stamp and thought it was a cool stamp but not one that worked with my "non defined" style. I couldn't think of a way to use it at all!! I see Kwerner doing lots of background areas with it but not actually using it to put letters/words on, just as background fill often done in white ink on kraft, her signature style.Doneldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11656093000344585375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-18760022142111868982010-02-25T07:50:07.064-05:002010-02-25T07:50:07.064-05:00Thanks, Karen!

Gotta check it out.<br /><br />Also, as I was proofreading today's post, an idea popped into my head for the whole image that I'll try later today. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't, but it sure is cool IN MY HEAD!
