Stampendous Challenge Time!

Some days you just need to stop and smell the roses!  Dial it down a notch or two and enjoy some crafty time.  That's what I did with this week's Stampendous Monthly Challenge.  I had been wanting to try the new no line stamping technique where you stamp your image in a light color of ink.  When you color the image in with your markers, the lines pretty much disappear and it looks like you've drawn the image yourself.  Pretty cool, huh?  This was my first attempt with the technique and I'm pretty pleased with the results.  Rather than make this into a card I decided to make some wall art for my stamp room.  I've always had a thing for roses so when Stampendous came out with this Jumbo Cling Cottage Rose set, I pretty much swooned and knew I had to have it!  So here's the list of challenge players for today:

Lea Kimmel (That's me!)
