Long Life

I have an uncle who is turning 92 next month, and I had to pull out this old stamp image by Mark's Finest Papers to make him a card. The Long Life sentiment is an even older, wood mounted stamp by an unknown company. I used the Tim Holtz wood design embossing folder and inked and distressed all edges. I actually planned to use papers from a Graphic 45 collection called Safari, but couldn't get to my papers in the closet because we've stacked up boxes in front of in preparation for having new flooring put in. Then I remembered this stamp!

Double D challenge, book covers. I was inspired by the book cover, A Tiger in the Garden. Love the idea of this little girl befriending a tiger in her garden.

As you Like It challenge. My favorite way to cut an image is fussy cutting. I can get a more exact trim and don't need matching dies
