#InCoWriMo Week 2 - Hand Stamped Stationary!

 Second week of #InCoWriMo and I thought it would be fun to focus on hand stamped stationary. 

Several years ago I bought a random box of office supplies at an auction and was lucky enough to find several boxes of some nice office papers. I have been keeping it safe for all these years and finally have a use for it ;) LOL!!

So I started off by cutting the paper down to fit into a common envelope (3 5/8" x 6 1/2").

From here the sky is the limit...

I decided to use Fresh Lemonade from Rubber Stamp Tapestry for my first set....

Now you can choose all sorts of configurations for your stamping. I started off easy with a simple straight line in the center about 1" down from the top.

I started by stamping the lemons and flowers. I stamped them both using black but next time I'm going to use yellow (lemons) or green (limes).

Next foliage in different shades of green.

I used Zig Real Brush markers to color the various images in.

The next piece I went with a nice corner piece on each side and the final example I used an oval die to create a nice arch in the center.

And here's how they all turned out!

Now it's your turn!!

Let's see your stamped stationary :)
