Stamped Focals for Cards


I'm fairly new to stamping, but I LOVE the variety of acrylic stamps and the ease of seeing where I am placing the stamp.  (These are Inkadinkado stamps I bought at Joannes) I have to share a stamping aid with those of you that might not know about it.  Use your MOUSE PAD!  I have had a terrible time with stamps in the past - always ended up with areas that didn't stamp cleanly (presumably because the table or stamp or both weren't absolutely flat).  This of course, didn't make for very good focals!  After some frustration, I remembered that I had read somewhere about stamping on a mousepad.  I realized this would help to make up for any uneven surface, so I tried it. EUREKA! Focals with ALL parts stamped cleanly!  For both of these, I first stamped with black StazOn and then colored in with markers.
