I'm back again as a Guest Designer for the Make the Cards Challenge and today's new challenge is:

You can find more details about the challenge and see the cards from the Design Team here on the challenge blog.

The papers are from Stampin' Up and I used Mossy Meadow card stock as my layer together with a die and stamped sentiment all from Stampin' Up.
