Art Journaling using Viva Las VegaStamps!

I'm here with a fun tutorial on creating beautiful faces in your art Journals using Stamps!
 Who says you have to be able to draw to art journal?


 Have a peak at the first video for a quick and easy tutorial on how I created the beautiful face below. 
With rubber stamps you can create a completely cohesive piece without knowing how to draw!

Victorian Mail Art Post Card

Wow, It's been a while since I've shared a piece that I've made not for my design team.... 
So today I have a Victorian Postcard that I created for a swap on Facebook. 


(I did of course still use Viva Las VegaStamps, and I combined them with some fun Graphic 45) 

Ok, I hope I enjoy this piece as much as I do, I plan on doing a video tutorial soon  :)
