ICSketches #57 ~ The Stamping Boutique

Thanks to everyone who joined us last week for our ICSketches #56 Challenge. Great to see what each of you do with the same sketches. Lots of lovely inspiration.

Little about The Stamping Boutique our lovely sponsor this week.
I'm Tracey Malnofski, the artist and owner of The Stamping Boutique. My team and I are very happy to sponsor Digital Thursday. My store has been open since September 2009. I've worked for InStyleStamps, Squigglefly, and TheDigiShack. I'm a professional artist and an active member of the Artist' Guild in my community. I have quite a busy household with a husband, 3 teenagers, 5 mini-dachshunds and an Appaloosa mare. It's noisy, but I love them all. I'm truly blessed. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor. Have a wonderful week!

"The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. We not only provide wonderful digital images in our store, but also several lines of red rubber images. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality,as well as, their beautiful designs.






The prize being offered is 3 of the rubber Cynthia stamps (there are 7 in theline pictured) or 5 digi's - Winner's Choice.

The Stamping Boutique also sponsored the DT here at ICS. Checkout all the lovely creations below.

ICSketches #56 ~ Whimsy Stamps

Awesome take on last weeks sketch. Enjoy looking at them
all. We hope you will join us again this week.
Our amazing new sponsor this week is Whimsy Stamps aka owner Denise. She
has offered the winner of this challenge a $15.00 dollar gift certificate. WOW
can't beat that awesome offer.
So all you have to do is create something using the
sketch below by either rotate, flipping, stretching or shrinking it down. Anything
your heart desires as long as I can see some of the sketch your
good to go. Happy Crafting!

We are a family owned art stamp company dedicated to providing crafters around the world with whimsical and fun rubber stamp designs. Our exclusive stamps are great for card making, scrap booking, and many other crafting projects.

We have had a love of stamping and card making for many years. Our Co-Founder, Denise began her stamping career as an independent demonstrator for Stampin’ Up!. As she grew to love stamping more and more, she wanted to be able to bring her ideas to life through rubber stamp designs.

With the help of our talented artists, we are happy to share the unique designs you see in our Whimsy Stamps Collections. We hope you’ll find our stamps easy and fun to use. All of our stamps are made from deeply etched rubber, mounted on Cling Cushion Foam, and once trimmed, they are ready to use with an acrylic block.

Whimsy Stamps is located in New Hampshire and all of our stamps are manufactured in the United States.

Enjoy creating your craft projects with Whimsy Stamps!
