I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to all things stationery!! I adore paper (well, I would do as a crafter), pens, pencils, crayons, etc. And it looks like Kathryn is a bit like me :) I thought these new stamps (one that I won recently from DYSU) would be just perfect. They are so easy to use; stamp the outline, then the solid colour and add the crayon stamp and cut out. I used my Promarkers to lay down lines of colour to match the crayons, stamped the sentiment and cut it out with my Spellbinder die. I edged the labels with black for definition and attched it to the card with dimensional tape. Kathryn was thrilled to get the card and has it displayed on her desk!
