Mark's Finest Papers

I especially like today's stamp set. It is a silhouette set that features people fishing. It makes great masculine cards. I always need masculine cards for the men and boys in my life. Don't you?
This stamp card was made by stamping the focal image in black. I sponged in the other colors and reverse masked in the sun. The other images are from a set released this month called Scenic Selections. I love how the fence is so easy to stamp! Those birds are the perfect size for this card, too!
This is an altered cheese box. I did a tutorial on SpeedyTV. You can see it HERE. I CASED a lady named Carole. I hope she doesn't mind.

I put a Gift Card inside the box.

Good Luck on the blog hop!

  7. Anna, this scene is awesome....love that big ball of sun. Good job with the different sets.

    I believe I saw somewhere you were asking about the person you cased for the cheese box. I think that could have been Carol at Chocolate Crafts and Bears, Oh My! that did the cheese box. I know she does alter those at times and has done a tutuorial for this technique.
