roc's monday blog post and a give away

starting in the new year, i will posting on the stampotique designer's blog every monday.  and since it's my first posting in the new year what a better way to start off the year with a give away!
today i've made a postcard using my feline and stacked boxes rubber stamps.  the sentiment can be found here at stampotique.
i painted the background with acrylics and then used ranger distress paint over a stencil for another layer.  i stamped my stacked boxes on lightly paint vintage text and cut it out and layered it on the background.  i added a few collage elements.
i stamped the sentiment on scrap paper and glued it down and machine stitched around the words to create a stacked box feeling.
the cat i stamped with momento ink and used copics and permanent markers to color.  then i cut it out and glued it on top of the machine stitched pieces. 
if you would like to win this postcard all you have to do is leave a comment telling me which of my rubber stamps is your favorite.  i will pick a winner by random draw on january 12th.  make sure i have a way of getting in touch with you.  sometimes there are no emails associated with the people leaving the comments.  if that happens i will pick another person.  thanks and good luck.

  14. Squiggle Arms was my favorite until I saw Stacked Cups, but let's not forget Heart Vine, Just Be U, Feline, and Stacked Love. So Stacked Cups wins (for now!)
