Awesomely Artistic

This stamp set will make you awesomely artistic!  Of course, you are probably wondering why I think that a stamp set can make you artistic.

Use this stamp set to create a variety of cards using different techniques.  Can  you spot the techniques?  No? Well, the techniques used are: watercolour, heat embossing, die cutting, splatter, and emboss resist, But, you think, I use those techniques how does that stamp set make be artistic.  Because it’s not what you use, but how you use it.

It’s about placement of the stamps, layers, embellishments, to die cut, embossing, watercolour or not, In other words, what I am saying is, just by picking up a stamp and stamping with it makes you artistic in the world of paper crafting.

Can you see what I am saying?  I always say that “creativity and artistry” is in the eye of the beholder.  What one person thinks about a piece of art can can differ drastically from another person.  The art may be pleasing to their eye for a number of reasons, such as, placement of the different elements.

So, never let anyone tell you that you are not artistic.  And never self-talk yourself into believing that you are not artistic.
