Playing with a New and Old Stamp Set

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. My mother and I had a garage sale last week and it took just about all my time and energy. I finally had some time to play with some of the new items I was able to preorder from the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog last night. This is a new stamp set called Artistic Etching. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line everything up and think it turned out pretty well. I was hoping for a masculine birthday card and think this just might work.

Here is an oldie but a goodie. Inspired by Nature and Flight of the Butterfly work nicely together.
