Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop as we share what projects we are currently working on to inspire you! You will be visiting with our Design Team Members as they share their wonderful projects and ideas to help spark your creativity.  This time our theme is standalone dies.  My card features the Stylish Shapes Dies

I created this card using by double stamping on Vellum Cardstock.  I stamped the back of the vellum using Starry Sky ink and then on the front I stamped using Versamark and embossed the images with White Embossing Powder.  I love how this card turned out!
