Being an avid stamper and collector of stamps I love it when you can see samples of how to get many looks from one stamp! I love it when the Stampendous Design Team can focus on one stamp to really show people many creative ways to get the most out of one stamp! For my post today I primarily used the stencil from the Stampendous Create Christmas stamp set, as well as my Dreamweaver Large Swirl stencil.
To create this card you'll need:
Cardstock - red, tan, white, olive green
