This is just an extra one going into my box because, this stamp landed in my mail box recently and she needed to be inked up... the blue paper under the image was made by shredding scraps of cardstocks in a blender with water to make a pulp that dried on a screen. ( when ever I had enough for a blender full of various colors I'd spend a day making a mess and saving the papers, they after drying were pressed under big books for awhile too) this is 5X7 in real life. tfl.

Love the artwork on your card and this incredibly upbeat image! Handmade paper? Tried that once. If I threw the sheet across the room it was thick and heavy enough to hurt someone. Guess I didn't press it hard enough. I give you credit for that! I love the sky you created for this wonderful card!

You. Are. Amazing. I mean, really, Stacy. I don't even know where to begin. Let's start with the obvious, though, you made something gorgeous from PAPER SCRAPS IN YOUR BLENDER. Um, wow. Get thee to an art fest chickadee, this is the real deal. You rock these Phyllis Harris stamps in amazing way. Everything about this is stunning!
