Iowa Dreams & Blog Candy

How is that for a title? I do have a reason. One of my favorite designers is MissIowa81/Karen. I got my inspiration for this card from one she posted on splitcoast back in February. Check out her gallery if you get a chance, she has an awesome style! Here's the direct link to the card that inspired me. The stamps are from Rubbernecker Stamp co. ATC Die Collection.

  22. Gorgeous card. Love this style and you certainly did a beautiful job. I can never get this type to blend correctly. Mine always looks like I just stamped a bunch of unrelated images. I must try to case this. Again, beautiful.
