Another nice summer day here in good old Michigan (USA). Yesterday I spent some time in my studio and made a bunch of cards. Three from some pieces I had cut and stamped a couple months ago and three from scratch. Today, I will share two of the "from scratch" cards. I used a fun Dandelion stamp from Serendipity Stamps. I thought this was a good choice to use now that the weeds are growing so well in my garden and yard. LOL.
I stamped with Rusty Brown Stazon Ink on both cards.
