My dear kind &………..

I decided to participate in this weeks challenge (SSC102) from Stamping 411.  I don't know if you are familiar with Stamping 411 but it's a blog where you will be able to get the 411 and basic instructions for stamping with style! Learn how to:

• cut your paper
• condition your stamps
• basic design principals
• techniques
• and of course, enter weekly challenges

Check them out sometime!  Stamping 411

Here's my card

I am so loving the new colors especially Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo.  I don't usually like bold colors but I considered these very rich in color not necessary bold nor bright.

Here's the sketch

Thanks for visiting and hope to see you again.
