I spotted this preloved Stampendous 'Lighthouse Collage' stamp in a charity shop last week and couldn't resist buying it as it was a 20p bargain! It was another wooden stamp but, like my Woodware stamps, I was able to peel the whole stamp from the rubber block so I can use it in my MISTI.

To make this card I used:
6" x 6" white matt card blank
Stampendous 'Lighthouse Collage' and Practical Publishing 'Stamps for All Occasions' stamps
Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
Snippets of brown card and Marianne Design 'Watercolour' paper
As the foam was still on the back of the stamp I removed the foam pad from my MISTI before using brown ink to stamp the image onto a snippet of blue watercolour paper. I replaced the foam pad into the MISTI and lined the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment to the right before stamping it a couple of times with brown ink to ensure it was the same depth of colour as the collage. I trimmed the panel to 5" x 5", layered it onto dark brown card and attached it to the centre of the card blank.
I am entering the following challenges:
Cardz 4 Guys - Something New from Stash (I have used a 'new to me' stamp)
Make My Monday - Happy Birthday
Moving Along With The Times - New Craft Item (I have used my new Stampendous stamp)
Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes

Hi Kath
A great bargain .. .. and a lovely finished card too.
