I want to share a couple cards I made a few days ago, these are using stamps from Marks Finest Papers New May Release.

The first one is from the Stamp Set Big Boy Toys, I made this a Father's Day card. I went really simple because I don't think flowers would look good on this, although I did think about putting some on the corners lol!



The second one is using the image from the set American Made, I colored in the image with Copic Markers and used some fun Patriotic papers I had for a while.



Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Holiday!!
