Hi! Welcome to my blog. I’m Sara Levin the artful inker. Today is the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Crackle Paint. So, we’re featuring the Crackle Paint background stamp found on page 44 in the Occasions Catalog.

You may have missed this little gem!
But, you’ll definitely want to add this fun, versatile stamp to your collection.
Details HERE

I’ve got three creations for you today that I’ll call beginner, casual and avid:
- beginner/simple stamping: quick, easy projects needing limited supplies; clean and simple cards;
- casual stamping: takes a little more time, uses some tools, more embellishments, creations for an occasion;
- avid stamping: more time, techniques, tools, whatever it is, I want to do it!
