Hehe, this was fun! I found this mug pattern back in Dec and made them into holiday cocoa holders--today I used the same pattern to create a blue and white speckled camping mug--you know the ones, right? My brother's birthday is coming up and he loves to hunt, fish, camp, etc...so this is perfect to hold his REI giftcard in! And it just tickled the heck outta me when I realized that the splatter/speckle stamp from the *Itty Bitty Backgrounds* would be what I needed to achieve the look on the mug, hehe! So, if you want to get the mug pattern too, click here: http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwoo...ns/mugcard.htm. TFL and have a great day!

Cute, cute, cute! It looks exactly like the spatterware enamel that they sell for camping! Great way to make a gift card very special - you did a great job!
