Now then how many of us have stamps that are seasonal or for a particular calender event
and once that is over they go to the bottom of the drawer ? Well you might want to get them back out.
Just because a stamp is seasonal does not mean to say it can't be used.
This is one example - On my topper i have used Tilda's egg cart - meant really for Easter!
It is suppose to have eggs in the cart - but theres flowers there instead !
There are a few ways you can do this -
Mask it -
mask the stamp
or do what i did - i just put some masking tape over the stamp where i didnt what the image , inked it up, took the tape off and then stamped. I then stamp tilda separate and cut her out .
So the cart was'nt bare i punched out some leaves and flowers then added brads.
I now have a stamp that i can use over and over again and no longer sits at the bottom of the pile ! Have a look in your stamp drawer and see what you can find !
I'd like to enter this topper into these challenges

Absolutley beautiful! Love the leaf charm and all the flowers everywhere I look. You are right, those seasonal stamps do end up at the bottom or back of the stash. I am guilty of that myself. Great way to use the Easter cart! Hope you had a wonderful weekend;0)
