 Hi Crafting Friend, I have two cards for you today, both simple stamping; same design, but different colors. I will separate the products used for each card into two different lists for you so you can be sure of which colors were used on each card. Both cards started the same, lay a piece of Basic White cut to 3.75 X 5 on a sheet of grid paper.
