Yes - you turn it four times to get all the rays, so you can use different colors. One the orange one one of the "layers" is stamped in gold.
They have other Turnabout stamps too - I think I posted the triangle one here before.

You need a Misti or T!m's platform or some sort of stamp position-er to make it work well.

More terrific cards! Very fun with that turn-about method. And of course I love the bird card.

Can you tell me where the duck and loon stamps come from? They are nicely illustrated.

The duck and loon are Club Scrap! Adirondack kit.
This was printed from the digi kit... cheaper and takes up less room than the sheets-o-rubber!
There digi kits are small and not layouts etc anymore, and only $2.95 a month!

That's interesting that you get some images and words. What is that equivalent to in the kits? I haven't looked at their stuff for a few years so am well outside the loop.

The kits are primarily now designed to make cards. You get the equivalent of the quad print, and all of the cutaparts and the stamp images. They tell us it doesn't have high enough resolution to make 12 x 12 layouts that anyone would want to print. They have been working fine in my new 6 x 8 album that I started using last year.

It's "such a deal." And the next time I don't care for a kit, I will just stick with the digital for a while. But I was over the moon about Lagoon. And I'm even more excited about next month's Orchard. It's another kit designed by Swarup Murthy.

So that's my sales pitch for the month.

Hijacking your thread here, Young Nancy. Hope you don't mind too much. Since we were talking about the digi kit, I thought I'd post this card I just made for several challenges over at CS: Pam's NBUS challenge (sea stamps), the Technique challenge (heat embossing on dark cardstock) and the Lagoon Blog Hop. The base panel is from the digi quad print for Lagoon. The Seaside seahorse was embossed with Tidepool powder (notice how I thought out of the box on that!!!) onto a black POP and then fussy cut (not my strength). I used Raindrops (or are they Dewdrops?) from PTI as embellishments. Thanks for indulging me.

these are some cards I made for some challenges over at Stamp Nation. Use your layering stamps and a sketch using a sassy saying. Now y'all know where to find those sassy sayings :lol: :lol:

Cute sassy saying, Nancy, and I love those watercolored flowers!

I adore that sassy card! The watercolor and seahorse cards are stunning, but I might need me a sassy saying stamp set. Just sayin'. :lol:

Jen your seahorse is drop-dead-gorgeous! Your outside-of-the-box colors are perfect.

Nancy, more awesome cards. LOVE how you painted the flowers...truly beautiful.
