Think Outside the Stamp!

I am a firm believer in thinking outside the stamp. I enjoy trying to mix and match my stamped images to create something new. Okay, enjoy may not be the correct word... Truthfully, my creativity usually comes out of sheer panic and desperation because I don't quite ever seem to have the exact image I want for the projects that I have planned out in my head, LOL. 

For instance, I found a darling card idea over at Splitcoaststampers that I wanted to CASE. I wanted a cute girl image that I could color with my Copics to use on this card. The only cute girl stamp I had that was the correct size needed was a Halloween stamp made by Stampendous. Unfortunately, it was not Halloween time... So I stamped and colored the image, cut off the hat and the pumpkin she was holding. Then I simply glued a different stamped hat image on her head and replaced the pumpkin with a stamped purse. Tada! A totally different look! I challenge you to look at your stamps in a different way! They may be more versatile than you think! And the more versatility you find in a stamp, the better the excuses you have to purchase it! You are welcome! ;-)
