And that is it! I really love this card, mostly because I am not a stamper and this is the first time I have EVER entered a card in a challenge that had a stamped image! The best part of this is that I got that stamp set in the Clearance bin at Michaels . . . it retails for $15 or thereabout, and I paid a tiny $1.40 for it!!! Don't you just LOVE a bargain!!!
Thanks so much for visiting, and I hope you'll come back soon! Blessings, Becky

Great card, Becky! Love that Echo Park paper, and what a fabulous score you got on those stamps. They are SO perfect for masculine designs and you did a great job with the stamping. :)
