Stamps; For Beginners and Beyond

I have been contemplating an article that explains and showcases the power of stamps in the dA community for some time, and it seems almost appropriate in light of recent events, to create this article now.

Tell Her About ItHEY YOU!

I can't tell you what will happen to you in the future, or what's happened to me in the past. Because then you'll try to change it. And then paradoxes would ensue. Or things will be worse, since you tried to change them and failed. Either way, you don't get any more foreknowledge then I got, squirt.
The only advice I can give you is in (old) song titles: (can't give you ones that don't exist yet, eh?)
Dear Prudence, please don't stop believing because all you need is love. Two out of three ain't bad, you sexy thing. And even though love is a battlefield, dream on and don't stop me now. Walk like a man, and shoot to thrill, because

You are quite welcome.

~lady-emeraldeyes Jan 4, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

I'm one of those people who can't use GIMP or Photoshop and I can't make transparent borders with Picnik or MS Paint... so I suppose my stamps aren't welcome. Oh well.

`stuck-in-suburbia Jan 4, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I'm sorry, but rules are rules.

Your loss, I suppose.

!Rukia-Lover Nov 14, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist
