Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co 

My oldest daughter is getting married in a month. She lived about 4 hours away from me. We were talking about how stressed she is getting as the wedding day gets closer and closer. She has always loved dalmatians. She has a collection of them. Every time I see a dalmatian I think of her, so when I saw this set, I knew the first card was going to be for her. I wanted her to know that I was thinking about her as she gets close to the wedding.

 I used the big background stamp from

 Mark's Finest Papers set called CRACKED HELLO. 

I stamped it with black stazon ink onto a piece of 

red cardstock. The sentiment is from another

Mark's Finest Paper set called SPRING THINGS. 

One of the nice things about using Mark's Finest Papers sets is 

that you can bend straight sentiments on your acrylic block

before stamping, and when you are done, they will

go back to being straight. I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock

and cut it out with deckle scissors.

I used two paper springs to make the image

stand out. I like using paper springs because they

give dimension to my cards, but they can be compressed

to fit inside an envelope for mailing.

This is the song that I was thinking about when I was making my card. I had to share.
