Ready to Stampede?
I used the brand new set called "sightseeing." It features a double-decker bus, a london bridge, and the coolest sentiments. I stamped a simple scene, and kept everything flat except for the bus. I love having matching dies for my stamps.
The polka polka dot cloud layer at the top and the gold splatter are nods to rainy london. I made a new friend at church recently who just moved to Montreal from London. She told me how rainy it is in England, and that everything is always so damp that mildew is a common smell. ew. I'm gonna need some confirmation on that one from my UK peeps.
I double-stamped the sentiment to create a more interesting focal point to my card. Every time I do this, I think of JJ Bolton. hee.
That's all for me! Here are your other stampede stops:
Mama Elephant ♥ Jennifer Mcguire ♥ Pamela ♥ Emily ♥ JJ ♥ Nichol ♥ Laura ♥ Geralyn ♥ Elena (that's me!)
