Yesterday, my great niece Ella celebrated her 7th birthday, and here is the card
I made for her. I came across the idea on Pinterest and cased this card.
I had a great time helping her celebrate with a family party.
I used a Versamark inkpad and stamped one of the swirls from the set randomly
on the card base. I had completely forgotten about this technique. I love the effect
it gives by making the base card darker.

Very wonderful design. Perfect for a 7 year olds cars design and those stamped images lend such a nice feel to compliment the numbers. Awesome sauce and fantabulous!
