For my first card I did some background stamping. I wanted to make my own paper and I thought this stamp would be perfect. I colored my image in using BIC markers. I really love the look. 


For my last card I wanted to show case this beautiful stamp. I really love the over all look with the embossing folders. When I first purchase my cuttlebug I came with oriental theme embossing folders. And I'm so happy I have the chance to play with them along with MFP stamps.
