The Cards:
I've created two cards for today's hop featuring the stamp I created for the new Artista quote kit, Lasting Thoughts.

The first is a simple one...just stamp, add twine, and adhere to the card:
Of course, I also wanted to color in the rose...so I did:

Lovely cards. Keeping the stamped image simple in black in your first card makes it stand out wonderfully against your colorful bg.
