The guideline was for a CAS (Clean and Simple) card, more and more I have found this to be my preferred style.
You should have arrived from Maureen's blog, if for some reason you have lost your way, then head on over to the Stars and Stamps blog which is the start of the hop.
I decided to use a few different stamps from Stampin' Up, I have to say that I am totally in love with how crisp these stamps actually stamp! And I adore the little pieced bird that I am using today in my card.
Paper: Notecard (Hero Arts); Neenah
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Copic Markers
Stamps: Stampin' Up (My Friend; Language of Friendship; Three Little Words)
Other: Stampamajig; Dimensional Squares
I really enjoyed stamping those teardrop elements in the one corner, and piecing the bird together just really makes it come to life. And when you have three little words like "I Love You" there is no need to add anything else! I am sure that a soldier out there will welcome the opportunity to send a little I Love You note to someone in their lives!
Thank you so much for visiting. Please continue on the hop and visit the fabulous Jan , a copic colorer deluxe, I wonder what she has in store for us today!

I just love those teardrop elements in the corner. Are those just one stamp or several? I couldn't figure out from the name of the stamps listed below the card which one that might be. Love it!
