This week's Make it Monday #74: Stamping on Texture is short and sweet--just perfect for a busy summer day. I used the large side of the Polka Dot Impression Plate and Background Basics Postmarks on my card front. I kept the front pretty simple, to really emphasize the texture stamping.

Can you take another owl card? Just a little mini, to slip into Sarah's lacrosse bag tomorrow when she heads off to camp. The card base is made by scoring and folding a piece of rustic cream cardstock and running both layers through my Cuttlebug using the Layerz Mat Stack 3 Die. The fold is just inside the cutting line, so it doesn't get cut. I used paper from a Recycled DCWV pad and the Memory Box Clever Owl die. No stamping on this mini card.
Supplies Used (PTI):
Happy Birthday
Stamps: Background Basics Postmarks, Gracious Vases, Sending You
Paper: White, Ripe Avocado, Summer Sunrise, Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise Pattern
Ink: Ripe Avocado
Other: Polka dot IP, Notched Flower, Double Ended Banner, Sending You Dies, Button
Thanks for Visiting
