This card uses the NEW Marquee Messages stamp set. It is another stamp set I received at On Stage in April. This is a fun stamp set to layer and add bling to! There are words for a lot of occasions included in the stamp set. So use the favorite color(s) of the person you are giving it to and impress them with your talents. NOTE: There are a lot of steps to this card, but all the steps go really quickly so it is a kind of quick card to make.
