I was very excited when Kelley asked me to design stamps to coordinate with the Spellbinders Ribbons Tag Trio Three!!! Here is my card using the beautifully drawn Blessed Virgin Mary set and the label from the Mini Tags 3 set:
As a Catholic we honor the Virgin Mary and I wanted to create a card that really made her stand out. I accented her halo with Platinum Stickles and the rays emitting from her hands with Diamond Stickles. I hope I did the stamp set justice.
Thanks so much for joining our hop! Your next stop is at Grace’s Blog…
