ooh - I love a good stamp!!!

I started card making a couple of years ago and the classes I went to focussed on decoupage and creating mats and layers - well, the novelty soon wore off. Then I was lucky enough to be bought an IPad and have spent many happy hours browsing the web and realising how many fabulous and creative ways there are of creating handmade cards. So my love of stamping started to grow.
I started with some basic stamps bought from a local craft shop and have been practising my colouring in, and now I have discovered Chocolate Baroque and WOW what amazing stamps. I've totally fallen in love with this range and on Sunday made my first purchase.

Indian Elephant and Indian Textiles
I couldn't resist these, such amazing value at £20 for 17 high quality grey rubber stamps. I ordered some distress ink so my total order came to £26 and I qualified for free delivery. They arrived within 48hrs, I am so impressed with their service.

Indian Elephant
My only complaint... I'm too busy to play with them this week and the weekend feels like a long way off!!! To take the edge off the craving I cut them out and did a quick test stamp on some copy paper and WOW again - they stamp perfectly and now the urge to craft is even greater. I have a feeling there won't be too much housework done this weekend!
