This first card started out as just a "lets try the new stamp" - I picked up the (Penny Black) stamp this week and wanted to try it out. The panel of (Brenda Walton) paper was sitting by my stamping area and I decided I really liked the look of the brown inked image! So - I added the words (Northwoods), a little glitter glue and mounted the paper onto a folded white card.

The cards were cut down from a 12x12" sheet of green card stock. I cut it down to 8-1/2 x 11", then cut that piece in half to give me two A2 cards. I love the look of the rainbow green ink pad for the word stamp (Hero Arts).
Once I finished those two cards, I was left with a 12 x 3 1/2" strip of green cardstock. And my new stamp. :-)

I'm going to love using this image and plan to make several more Christmas cards with it. AFTER the Craft Sale. :-) I think it would make a good masculine birthday card, for someone who has a winter birthday.
Thanks for stopping by today!
