This is my first challenge post! Actually it's a lot of firsts:
First CC post
First time using Always set
First time using my Soft Sky ink and double stitched ribbon
First time using my Real Red Craft Stampin' Spot!
When I first read the colors for the challenge, I wanted to do something patriotic, but I have no stamps that fit that theme, so this is what I came up with. I was inspired by this card: always by kstannard at Splitcoaststampers
Thanks for looking!
