I've also found that if you use a brayer to ink the stamp, you get smoother coverage and no texture from the ink pad! hthjdrhope wrote:Yes, I used glossy photo paper for the photo stamp, that is the one thing I remembered to do. I will try a pumpkin on it tonight and see if that helps. I just think it needs more color. Thanks Ruth AnnRuth Ann Landry wrote:Hope, you must use photo stamps with glossy paper...I use them all the time and love them, but anything with texture will break up the image. I like the background...farmish...maybe an orange pumpkin?

I have finally finished my 2 of Hearts. I'm not totally satisfied with it but don't know what else to do. It is in my album - thanks Ruth Ann and Christy

Wow! These are all GORGEOUS!! I've been out of town for a few days. Our cabin is off the grid and we have no internet connection. It's always fun to be gone for a few days and then come back and plug in. This was the first thread I went to "cause I'm lovin' all these little works of art.

Forgot to mention Paula that was my paternal grandmother. She died in 1959 when I was 13.

A little late, but here is my 2 of hearts. It is a photo of my Mom in 1931. I am going to try to keep my deck kinda themed as a Book of Me if possible.
Re: A Deck of Art....2 of hearts
very nice Deb, and a good idea with the BOM themes.....
Re: A Deck of Art....2 of hearts
Cheryl and Deb-- terrific job on each. And you can see the family resemblances. I love that idea (BOM).
