A beautiful Keepsake
Project Recipe
For the stamp on the front of the card I used the Bloom Girl - Hope stamp from Prima.
The card was made for a co-worker who happens to be African American and since Stampin Up does not have any ethnic stamps I wanted to use this one. All the other supplies were from Stampin Up

In my video I showed you the wet glue seeping out from the letter N. Here is a picture of what it looks like after drying. You can't even see where the glue seeped out.
