Ths card is for the Ways to Use it Challenge,with the layering of embellishments, which I have managed.
I just purchased this stamp today, I had seen it months ago when we went for a break to the beach and I discovered a charming little Craft Shop, I always wished I had got it then, so when I saw it today I grabbed it! It is the most expensive stamp I will ever buy...cost around $417.95 so far, I bet you are wondering how on earth that could be true....well our card broke down on the way to the Craft Shop which is right over the other side of Canberra and it was 40 degrees Celsius...we ended up having to have the car towed....but before we left I made a quick dash to the Craft shop and the rest of the family headed to the Lolly Shop - DH is happy as he had a 'Butter Fingers' from the states - hey, maybe it is the chocolate that cost so much NOT the stamp LOL!!
I have used corrogated card, which gives it great texture. I would say that this card is definitely a masculine one!!
I hope you like this totally overpriced 'work of art'! Thanks for your comments, they have really blessed me!!!

Butterfingers! The Buckle Man's personal fav! Oh the Lolly Man- sorry for the car troubles, but thankful you made it home safely. That stamp is worth every dime! Lol. I love this layered look, quite shabby chic.
