For a Friend

I thought I would just play with a few stamps that haven't been inked up recently and make some simple cards using Martha Stewart border punches.

This card was my first attempt and then i decided that it needed a little more details so the other cards all have the little extra that this one doesn't. All stamps are from the SU For a Friend set except the second card which is from Inkadinkado. Enjoy!!!















Recipe:

Card: 4 by 5 1/2
Stamps: SU For a Friend, Inkadinkado (...and the two became one)
Ink: Pitch Black (Adirondack), Markers (Copics)
Accessaries: Stickles, Martha Stewart Border Punches
