I am so blessed to have local stamping friends as well as my blog friends.
Several of us went to a recent stamp show and we've had a good time sharing our purchases.
This gorgeous conch shell stamp is one that my friend Jan bought.
I didn't even see this stamp at the show.
I'm glad she did!
I inked it with Sahara Sand and stamped on mixed media paper.
I added a bit of Blushing Bride with an Aqua Painter and
some bits of Crumb Cake reinker that had been diluted in my palette.
I loved the results and thought this wonderful sentiment suited the image.
ANYTHING GOES
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Beautiful, Bonnie. Lovely sentiment.
Beautiful stamp and lovely coloring Bonnie! And that sentiment definitely fits! :0)
This is stunning! Man, I just went to a stamp show where Technique Junkies was there and I didn't see this either! Although it probably would have scared me away, it's so large....but seeing it here, I am going to be on the lookout for it! It's beautiful the way you've colored it!
Wow! Not only a unique stamp but colored to perfection and so beautiful! Love this Bonnie!
