A lot of people are intimidated by the whole idea of stamping. And this is what I tell them. If you want to dip your toe in the water, these are the stamps to buy. We have TONS of these little stamps in every section of our store for every theme you can think of, and the best part? These stamps are ONLY .99 CENTS!! It's a great way to try it out. Just peel the clear stamp off the plastic it comes on, slap it on an acrylic block (we have plenty in the workshop if you want to use one of ours or just use a CD case), put some ink on it, and stamp away. Another advantage of these little stamps is that even if you only use it a couple times, you've only spent a dollar! Here's a card I did with him....I used watercolor pencils to color him but Copics would be great too....
