I am so hooked on making these little stamps! I accidentally broke one of my soft blocks, so I doodled a little something on it .. and made these cards for a challenge.
I didn't have enough black ribbon, so I used cardstock and vellum. The lettering on the vellum is from my printer. I use a heavier vellum, so it isn't all hung up when I try to print something.
I also don't have swirly bling, so I used stickles for the swirls.
The little beads are floral drops from the gardening section at TARGET...I colored them with some dark alcohol ink.

Hi, just found your blog and I love your handmade stamps. What is the block you talk about that you carve your stamps out of?
Lee:)
Hello Lee, thanks for commenting. The soft block that I'm using to carve is a soft eraser-like block. The grey blocks are mounted pieces of linoleum.
Here is a link to where I purchase:
