so your choice.

Anyone who knows me , knows how much I love my die cuts 

and frequently use Sizzix dies.

This one I've had for a while and never used it because 

I was disappointed when I gave it a test drive.

It's tiny! 2 3/4" x 4"

I think it may be part of a series of dies made for pocket scrapbooking, 

although I could also be completely wrong!

Anyway I knew with my travels and a time change 

I need something that was easy for me.

closed/folded

open/flat

standing up

Color layering stamps are all the rage right now!

Hero Arts has many of these sets.

Today we're using the Seahorse set.

We will be stamping in archival inks so we can apply

 distress stains to the background of the circle. 

I love this My Favorite Things background,

so much movement.

I also added a touch of wink of stella

 even though you can't see it on the scan.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

broken china distress stain

edger

wink of stella clear

That's all for today,
