Amazon.com Review
With her trademark wild hues and bold graphics, "the head cheerleader of rubber stamping" (as she's been hailed) has filled a very colorful book with loads of innovative techniques. No surface is immune to her irrepressible stamping enthusiasm: in addition to paper, she stamps on glass, wood, walls, doors, fabric, and home accessories; she even uses glossy adhesive paper to create unique stamp stickers. Even experienced stampers can learn a few tricks: creating landscape imagery or "wallpaper" backgrounds; achieving airbrush and watercolor effects; using rubber-cement resist techniques; making dimensional pop-up greeting cards; as well as spattering, sponging, and texturing. Gruenig's colors are so vivid and her designs so eye-catching that it's hard not to feel cheerful just looking at them. --Amy Handy
