Wonderful Surprise

Today I am pleased to announce that I am now a member of the 100 Proof Press Design Team.


 Several weeks ago, I was contacted by Sara the owner, who said she admired my work and asked would I want to be on her first ever Design team. Of course I jumped at the idea and immediately said YES. I couldn't believe she contacted me! This  rubber stamp company has an extensive line of over three thousand detailed  images  with something for every taste. You can check out their website here, they offer stamps three ways: mounted, unmounted and unmounted trimmed on a cushion. . They  have a blog and have started a facebook page too. Each week, I will look forward to showing you my treasures when using their amazing stamps.

Todays project is a tiered box. I  used the Longtower Row (5391-ZC) stamp and stamped it on paper and glued it to two boxes of different sizes. I then watercolored the boxes and added some silver german scrap. Three feet on each box  and the tiny topper completed the piece and are made of some tiered black and white buttons from my huge button stash.

Hope you will discover a wonderful surprise (no matter how big or small) this  week.
artfully yours, gerri

    Congratulations Gerri! I actually adore 100 Proof Press. I used to have many of their stamps .. including those two wonderful Rabbits who stand together looking every so intelligent. Also had a great stamp of a woman riding an ostrich .. too funny. I used it a lot actually. I was over there the other day, and of course it is retired. Have fun .. I'm really looking forward to seeing your creations. The box today is spectacular. Well done! Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day. Donna
