Looking Into The Past

Hi Everyone,

Instead of doing a Wordless Wednesday post, I decided to change things up and do a "Looking Into The Past" post. This project was published in the September/October 202 issue of The Rubber Stamper magazine and even though the stamps are no longer available and you can find stamps all over the place with a beach type theme that will work perfectly! The technique is still easy to do today, so no worries there. Since the instructions might be a little hard to read, I have reprinted them for you. Give the technique a try. It's very simple to do but you can get stunning results!

Thank you for joining me. Until next time...

Crafty hugs,
