Today I have a card made using the April Stamp of the Month and the Artiste cartridge. This month's stamp coordinates with the Artiste cartridge and is so much fun! If you are someone who likes having all of the stamp sets that coordinates with the cartridges, make sure you get your hands on this one!
For this card I used embossing powder that make the detail from the stamp stand out a little bit more. I always forget to use this technique, but love the effect. I really should do this more!
