Arty Girlz Challenge # 47

The challenge this week from Arty Girlz is "No Patterned Paper" and this is right up my street...much as I love all my gorgeous papers....this takes me back to the days before we had such a great selection of crafting shops in this country and it was the done thing to create cards with stamped backgrounds. I created the background using a shadow square stamp and then punched out a square aperture and stamped through it with the text stamp. This design was inspired by my hero...Shari Carroll from Hero Arts....so I thought it only fitting to use Hero Arts Stamps.
