HB2U!

I just LOVE the new On The Line digital stamp set from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. As soon as I saw it I had a zillion ideas. My only disappointment is that I only had time to make 1 card this week. (So that means you will be seeing more of this set in the future!)


I thought I would start out using the banners/pennants that are so popular lately.



This is was a fun and easy card to make for a man's birthday. I don't have a specific recipient in mind but I need a bunch of masculine birthday cards in the near future.


I paper pieced/layered the banners using some scrap DP. This paper from October Afternoon is too cute to toss any scraps so I keep them all just in case I can use them for something fun like this. The clouds are sponged on the blue using white ink. The bottom layer is distressed to add a little texture.



Here is a look at the complete set of 19 images. (They're just $6!)





Please stop by the rest of the DT to see what they created this week and Lindsay will have her weekly freebie posted on her blog.
