Bio:

I took up rubber stamping because I did not have a creative bone in my body and I had to prove to myself that I could create something “artsy”!  That began about 6 years ago and I have not looked back since!  I LOVE making cards, most are for charitable causes. 

 Ne me considèrant pas comme quelqu'un de particulièrement artistique, je suis tombée amoureuse des tampons il y a 6 ans et je n'ai jamais arrété depuis. J'adore la carterie et la plupart de celles que je crée sont destinées à des oeuvres de charité.

Brenda's card & tips  / carte de brenda et quelques conseils:

1)      Never throw away those thin little strips of cardstock (see purple strip on card), they can come in very handy!
Ne jetez jamais vos chutes de papier, elles peuvent vraiment servir!

2)      Getting a crisp embossed edge is as easy as using an embossing stylus to run around the inside edge of your die cut with the die still in place.

3)      If you stamp your final image (the mouse in this case), and the inking does not come out as smooth as you wanted, don’t despair, stamp the image again on another piece of cardstock, trim and adhere over the imperfect one, you can even pop it up like I did on my card.
Si l'impression de votre image finale n'est pas parfaite , n'hésitez pas à la tamponner à nouveau sur un autre bout d epapier, à la découper et la mettre par-dessus la précédente en utilisant un adhésif 3-D.
