Finally made cards with the crackle painted squares from the Aug. 13th Stampfest.

Doll Stamp

I bought this "Julie Nutting Mixed Media Doll Six" cling rubber stamp on a vacation. Aren't stamps great souvenirs!

Lynette gave me the idea of using a doily for the skirt 

and for shortening the doll stamp so it would fit on a 5-1/2 inch tall card.

I was inspired by Krista's Blog and Christine's Blog while working on these vertical cards.

Cardstock base cut to 8 x 9" and folded to 4 x 9".

They will fit in a standard business envelope (4-1/8" x 9-1/2")
