I cut out two different sized circles with the Creative Memories cutting system out of Inkadinkado masking paper.

The die cut is by Spellbinders. It has been in my stash forever. It was one of those times that I cut out other people's dies and with no idea what I'd use it for or with

The stars aligned and the stamp set and die-cuts came together :)

Ink is Distress ink-Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Faded Jeans, and yellow is Squeezed Lemonade.

Black ink is Hero Arts. I love how dark and sharp it is.

I set a Making Memories eyelet for the hole on top and used Karen Foster floss as the hanging component.

Just for You purple and pink

I stamped the Stampin Up flower stamp with lack ink onto white cardstock and colored it in with Copic Markers.

Deep Red Stamps Tree of Life Friend Cards

I used the Tree of Life stamp by Deep Red Stamps
