A Beautiful Duet....

Wow - you're going to LOVE this. Literally, your little mixed media hearts are going to be jumping right out of your gasping, slack jawed mouths and beat gratefully on the table as you struggle to find the right words... like "Yes!", "Finally!" and "Just what I've been waiting for!" to use a few.

Impression Obsession stamps and Crafter's Workshop stencils have collaborated on a line of products that work together to create beautiful music - here's what to look for in the store:

But the beauty in these is not what you see in the package, but what you can DO with them. You can use the stamps alone, and you can use the stencils alone, but what you really WANT to do is use the stamps and the stencils together. We borrowed a few samples from designer Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's blog to show you what we mean.

Here is a sample using the Mini Layered Bird Scene Stencil by itself :

Cool, right? And here is a sample using just the Birds stamp set by itself:

Also very funky and cool - but check out what happens when you use them together:

Happy, happy awesomeness!!! Want to see if again? I know, me too! OK, check out the Mini Layered Circles stencils in action:

And now for the Circles stamp set:

And then, Yowza! The stamp set and stencil together:

There are just so many crafty opportunities here - we'll be looking forward to a sampling of what you made with yours!
