As an artist, when I come across a product that can be used more than one way, I get excited! When these stamps were released, I waited (impatiently, I might add) to get my creative hands on them. They arrived in mailbox and the playing began.

In the first photos, I have shown the astral stamp used in an encaustic natural feeling piece. I have recently discovered encaustic painting and I have to say that I am loving it, both the smell and the feel of the wax is pure delight.

Supplies:
Sandra Evertson FOUR PORTALS Art Stamps "Astral"
Relics & Artifacts "Rising Spirit I"
White tissue paper
Scrap of rustic wood
Encaustic wax with resin
Pressed flower petals
Leather cording

For the second mixed media application, I used the Alma stamp and a Mexican shadow box. I did reverse glass painting on the inside of the nicho and embellished with treasures on the outside.

Supplies:

For the third piece, a keepsake box, I used the Esoteric stamp with polymer clay. Polymer clay is always close by in my studio. It's as versatile as all of the Relics & Artifacts products and they play well together!

Writing this has me wondering, "Hmmmm. What else can I use these stamps on?" Gotta go! I have an idea!
