Christmas and Halloween

The more I use this stamp set, the more I like it! This is a simple card using the Festival of Trees stamp set and the Hearts & Stars Decorative Masks. I simply adore these things! The two masks are only $2.95 and so easy to use. Place the mask where you want it, and sponge your choice of ink over top. Voila! Instant awesomeness!! I originally planned to use them for mixed media on a 12 x 12 sheet of watercolor paper, but have found many more uses for them!
