Hey There,

Today’s tutorial uses just one set of stamps (Stampin’ Up! Creative Elements) and I layered the floral vine in order to get some depth in the scene.  I hope you like it and decide to follow along and create it.  This is a quarter card so make a couple.  🙂

So this duck walks into a drug store and goes to purchase chap stick.  The clerk says will this be cash or charge and the duck says just put it on my bill, grin.  🙂
