THOUGHTFUL EXPRESSIONS
Yeah! The new Mini Catalog has been released for demonstrator preorder! I thought the flower in this stamp set would work great with this sketch. And I paired it with the Flight & Airy Designer Paper which is a Sale-A-Bration option! Get it free when you buy this bundle!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 2-1/4 x 5 piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock was added to the center.
- The greeting from Thoughtful Expressions was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the lower right corner.
