Welcome to Flashback Friday!  This week we travel back to 2010 for a fun hostess set called Longfellows.  It's such a cute set!  Take a look. I picked this set for a reason, my stamping friend Lisa Rhine's birthday was yesterday.  I am just getting her card in the mail today, so that's why I chose the cute turtle.  Here's the card I made her last night. I went with the clean and simple look again.  I thought Gorgeous Grunge would be fun to use for the background.  I stamped the turtle on Whisper White and die cut it with the Deco Labels framelit.  I free hand paper pierced around the outside of the die cut.  A blender pen with Pear Pizzaz and Old Olive ink were used to color the turtle.  I think this is a really fun card and I hope Lisa likes it!  You should stop by her blog , she has been doing Flashback Friday as well and she is a fantastic artist! Thanks for visiting! Have a happy stamping day! If it doesn't move...stamp it!! Nic...
