This week we welcome 'The Artistic Stamper' from the UK as our sponsor.
Here's Jennie Boxall, owner of The Stamp Connection,
and designer for The Artistic Stamper range of stamps...
"The Stamp Connection has been in business since 1995 and we manufacture The Artistic Stamper range of stamps and 'Kling-On' repositionable cushioning too. All of our stamps are unmounted natural red rubber. We like to produce stamps that will work well with others, and co-ordinate with lots of our own. I love playing with designs that transfer into 3D pieces , so often my inspiration for stamp designs comes from my own love of 3D!"
Here's what you could win....
£15 [$25] Artistic Stamper stamps
of the winner's choice
Jennie will ship these anywhere in the world, and will include
the appropriate amount of Kling-On cushioning free.
