At my March Downline Stampin’ DIVA Day, we made projects using the Elements of Style stamp set.  I was fortunate to get this stamp set free when I attended Leadership in January. 

I decided to use up my leftover precut cardstock supplies from stamp-a-stacks, technique clubs and card buffets.  This was a fun challenge for me to look at the cardstock and decide how to use the stamp set.  This stamp set screams Victorian or shabby chic styles to me, but these samples aren’t those styles at all.
