I really like this stamp which was free with the June issue of Craft Stamper. I don't make many men's cards and find this fits the bill a lot of the time! I had sent for the sample pack from the Stamp Bug and mad this card using the design in the magazine and the contents of the pack. This included a Castaway stamp pad which I have used on the background following the instructions in the magazine, but I don't think I can be doing it right as it didn't seem to work very well. You have to stamp the image on dark paper, leave it to dry then iron it and the colour fades to show a sort of bleached image. The image was then stamped again randomly on the background using a beige and a brown inkpad from the Brilliance range. The main image was stamped and embossed in gold on black pearlescent card. If anyone has used the Castaway pad I'd be interested to hear if it worked for you so please leave me a comment.
