Six years ago the Michael Strong Yahoo Group was created by Hetty (who also did the above card) and to celebrate we are doing a blog hop with a stamp available for one lucky person who leaves a comment of one of the blogs plus another stamp for someone in the group that shares what their first Michael Strong stamp was with any card they made with a Michael Strong stamp.
I bought a bunch of his stamps at once to save on shipping so I don't have a true first stamp. But the big Gecko was one of them and I still love making cards with him today. Here's my latest card made with Bister. I embossed the Gecko with Early Espresso, sprinkled some neutral Bister on the card and then sprayed it with water and let dry. Here's the result:
Hope you like it!
Next on the hop is Hetty's daughter -- Yael - http://yaeloc.blogspot.nl/ -- can't wait to see what she has to show!
If you get lost just go back to Hetty's blog:
