There are some fantastic benefits of joining my team during Sale-A-Bration.

The starter kit is always the best deal anyway. It’s the ultimate bundle! You choose $125 in products and pay only $99 AND get free shipping. That’s a 28% savings!

Joining during Sale-A-Bration gets you the $125 in product PLUS your choice of TWO additional stamp sets for $99 and free shipping.

Ombre Brushstrokes Tasty Treats Washi Tape Card

I love making cards with layers. But sometimes I try to mix things up a bit by making a card with no extra layers. For today’s card I used the Brushstrokes background stamp, Peekaboo Peach Ombre Ink Pad, and Tasty Treats Designer Washi Tape to create the background directly on the Whisper White Thick card stock (CS) card base.

 

Here’s what I made:
