Do you recognize this layout? This is the third card I have made using it. I just wanted to show you how one layout can take on a different look just by changing the colors and stamps. On this card I used the other challenging paper as the focal point rather than a poem like the other two. I also used the scallop circle to hold the card closed for a little different look. Let…
I like using my stamps to create a background that looking like patterned paper. It is a great way to add color without adding layers. That is what I did on this card.

The open style of the stamps in the set allow you to combine colors to create some beautiful cards while at the same time you can stamp it on the same color cardstock and create layered flowers. It is a very versatile set. I was able to combine 2 challenges in this card. Our Creative Corner…
