I was lucky enough to win a prize from We Love Stamping Challenge a few weeks ago- and what a fabulous prize it was- a set of stamps called Follow Your Own Path from Aall & Create, this seemed a perfect time to have a play with them.
I smooshed some distress inks onto a piece of white stamping card then let loose with the stamps- plus a couple of background stamp I've had for years and never used. The large woodpecker is water coloured and I've paper-pieced the 'this way up' arrows. I'm happy with the way this card turned out, hope you like it too.
Thanks for visiting today, enjoy the rest of the weekend
