The more I use the Garden Whimsy stamp set, the more I like it. Here, I have used it in combination with one of the new sets called Pocket Silhouettes, and also some of the beautiful new designer series papers.  In case you hadn’t noticed, I am really loving faux stitching at the moment, so you will find it on a lot of my cards and scrap pages, including this one 🙂  And if you would like to learn this easy but effective technique, just contact me about my upcoming classes.
