Stamped by Kristina Transue

I have been trying to study up on what makes a great card, I have been learning about design priciples from stampers at SCS . . .splitcoaststampers.com . . . and I am trying to apply what I have learned. It takes a lot more thought, but I am overall much happier with the outcomes. Although this is not an exciting card, I love the thought that went into it.

The blog that I have been studying is Ellen H from splitcoast stampers, here is a link to her blog
