You should start the hop at Lynn's blog. If you came here from Laurie's blog you are in the right spot!
For my card today I used this beautiful circle stamp from the new set Vintage Circles Small. I stamped it using Versamark and black ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. I colored in the filigree design with copics. I think it looks like a lovely stained glass window don't you? The sentiment is from the new set Spring Baskets. On the inside of my card I stamped 'Happy Easter' (Spring Baskets) and then three little flowers from the Vintage Circles Small set matching the colors to those used on the front.
