Rubber Stamping
I am fairly new to the world of rubber stamping; I have a few odds and ends of stamps
and had used them sparingly on a couple of projects but had not really used stamping as
the main focus of pieces of art.
Then, on a visit with my daughter, I was introduced to
a large volume of stamps all in one place! I had read a lot on the topic and had lots of
ideas - so I began to play.

My First Cards

![](images/St_Partridge.jpg) Stampin' Up Stamped on vellum and heat embossed in silver. colored with markers on back. Backed with aluminum foil. Sides folded under. Mounted with doublestick tape. |
Then I bought more stamps and tried out some different techniques.
