Today I want to share some fun note cards I created for one of my motorcycle riding friends. I think they turned out really cute! I used the stamp set “Born to Ride”  and used Ruby, Creme Brulee, Chocolate, Bamboo, and Black inks for the stamping and edge distressing. Then I added some red sparkles to […]
