I'm finally back from vacation and being away for almost two weeks. I was gone longer than I had planned and I'm glad to be back and uploading.
This week's StampinB challenge was given by Vicky Gould to use a background stamp on your card. I had a new polka bg stamp and was really wanting to use it. My image is a beautiful swan from Mark's Finest Paper, Our Side of the Pond set.

Welcome back, Benzi! You havent missed a beat girl since you left. This card is beautiful vibrant and beautiful in red. Love the dots and love the card. Since your card is predominately red, you might want to add Red Divas to your keywords.

Benzi this is beautiful. I love the color combination and that sweet little border punch going down the side. What a eye catching creation so wonderfully composed. I just love it!

Benzi, this is great. I like the reverse-punched effect on the right, the polka dot bkgrnd, the pretty swan off-center like that. Really, really great job; I'm very impressed!
