Create a card/project using a stamp - rubba', digi, clear - the choice is yours! This challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp  PRIZE:  $15 store voucher Here is my DT sample card for this week: I love, love creating my own designer papers. For this card, I used a background stamp by Stampin' Up! En Francais. Against the red cardstock I used SEI Rose Petal and on the pink card stock I stamped using Versamark.
