The House That Stamps Built: Inspiration Photo

 

 

 

Another beautiful Inspiration Photo to inspire you at The House

That Stamps Built this week:

 

I went with the pine cone and greenery as my inspiration.  I had yet to ink up

812-G, Pine Cone so I went right to that stamp, stamped

 then cut with my Scan & Cut and thought it paired well with

 2708-M, Pine Branch -which I colored with Tim Holtz Distress Markers before

stamping.  Added my sentiment: 2212-I, May you know and

some die cut greenery (Tim Holtz).
