On a recent trip to visit my mother in the UK I picked up a set of stamps by docraft. I loved the paper clip and spiral bind and thought it would make a great note for a card.
The background is distress ink on my craft mat spritzed with water and the paper tapped on to it. I then stamped the paper clip and spiral edge, I went over the clip in metal gel pen. The strip of copper was left over from a trip to Lolls a few months ago, she sent Susan and I home with some. they are great accents to cards unfortunately my aim was a little off so it's not as straight as I'd like . For dimension I curled and distressed the corner. The sentiment is by Stampit Australia.

What a super neat card, Christine. Silly girl, I never noticed your strip wasn't straight as a pin. I still don't. Love that docraft image. your card is really a cool piece of art work.

Your distress ink background really makes this pop out of the gallery! I love that sentiment! Your new stamps are pretty cool- spiral binding and the clip!
