Hello Crafteteers!
In January I posted a card using an Ex Libris stamp my friend made for me. Yesterday I made another card using her handmade stamp. I really love this stamp! Love the layout and the teapot is perfect as the focal point. The steam coming out of the spout adds energy to the image. The checkered tablecloth is just too cute with a retro feel. Did I mention I love this stamp?
Also used on the card is my new Spellbinders die Fancy Ribbon Threader. What a great little die! At first I was not sure if I would use the mini holes to thread the blue strand, but when it was done I realized it totally makes the stamped image pop.
It is as if the paper was made for this stamp: Bo Bunny's Weekend Market. Ironically, I am seeing my friend today at our local market to give her this card. She is selling her amazing paintings and stamps at our market now. Interested in seeing just a glimpse of her work? Take a minute to go here: http://www.brianacorrscott.com/brianacorrscott/home.html It is well worth the trip!
