Last post I spoke about digging out some of my long neglected stamps.

Well recently I dug really deep and pulled out one of the very first stamp sets that I ever owned.
I really can't remember which was first but I do know that I had quite a few Fiskars stamp sets that fall into that category and this was one of them.

It was a Heidi Grace for Fiskars set.

WOW, do you remember that far back?

That is really showing how old I am and how long I have been at this crafting thing. I loved Heidi Grace Designs stuff, in fact I still have a whole heap of her valentines stuff in my stash.

How cute is this stamp set though? I have to admit it has been a hot minute since I used this one but this set has one of my favourite stamps on it, that seahorse and over the years I have used it on a number of different projects here and there.



I got to use a few different techniques that I haven't done in a while on this card which is nice because being time poor I usually stick to one techinque only such as just heat embossing as a feature but this card I had a nice play with.

It does make me realise that I love using distress colours as my preferred watercolour medium and that I need to get them out more often and also how nice the finished look of a no line water colour is, more of that too.
