Rubber Stamp Madness

This piece was done for Rubber Stamp Madness' current issue for the theme Peace on Earth.
All stamps used are Eat Cake Graphics. I had to do alot of masking. I love the little bear. The front porch and grass had to be extended, so I drew in the rest.
I am rather pleased with the way it looks in the publication. Rubber Stamp Madness is probably my favorite stamping magazine. Probably because they don't have any scrapbooking stuff, and that they still explore techniques. To many have gone to just cards, and don't bother with any techniques. I like to learn.
It is sad that most of the publications that were strictly for stampers have folded or have started incorporating scrapbooking. I don't think they use the same techniques. So I would rather not see scrapbooking stuff in the stamping magazines. That is just my opinion. Don't have anything against scrapbooking. Just think there are already enough publications that showcase it and to few that are devoted entirely to stamping.
Thanks for stopping by and listening to me ponder on.

Adorable card Annie, congrats on the pub in RSM. I totally agree with you, it's sad to see stamping mags folding or moving over to scrapping, I do love scrapping too but prefer to focus stamping mags on projects and techniques.

nnie, this is so cute!!!! Lots of work in it! I agree with you about the stamping mags, and I'm a scrapper. I don't really do much stamping in my scrapbooks, other than letters and for some embellishments. I would rather see lots of technique stuff in my stamping mags!

Congrats, congrats, congrats!

I love the card and agree with you on the stamping mags incorporating too much scrapping. I'm a scrapper too but there are times I'd like to just choose one or the other, kwim?

I was also sad that RSM is down to 4 issues/year. Bummer. I do love the magazine.
