 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:
" You've Got Style"


What is great about Mark's Finest Papers sets is how well they work with eachother. I am showing you the ivy that is from the IVY & BLOSSOMS set that is being showcased today. I stamped it and water colored it. Then I masked it with a mask I made by stamping the ivy onto typing paper and cutting it out. I placed the mask over the ivy and stamped this brick wall from Mark's Finest Papers set called BRICK WALL MINI STAMP,  The butterfly and sentiment are from another Mark's Finest Papers set called. DAFFODIL GREETINGS.

This was a card that I made last week for the SCS Fussy cutting challenge I combined the ivy with the music score from Mark's Finest Papers set : JUST A NOTE.
