One Stamp - 3 Cards
By: Michael A. Trent, Artistic Guide

Here is the 2nd card in this week's blog entry - again using the same image from Monday.  With this card I used the whole image.  Add a little color and some bling, and you have a beautiful birthday card to give to someone.

Remember to check back on Friday for the 3rd card in this series.
