SNEAKY BIRTHDAY

I am going to tease you all with a sneak peak stamp set called "Creative Elements".  I made this Birthday card for Julie (downline) a few weeks ago.  I wanted to use a new set Julie didn't have, so she could keep it as a sample if she wanted to!

I chose to stamp the images on Naturals Ivory cardstock.  A robust cardstock that stands up well as a card base.  I don't know why I waited so long to get some - it is gorgous to work with!  I stamped in Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler.  Coloured the flower with a blender pen, fussy cut, then added to the card with another new product - a Glimmer Brad.   Another clean and simple card!
