Fresh Squeezed Stamps New Release: Subway Series Basics

 

Welcome to the last day of peeks for the new release from Fresh Squeezed Stamps!

 

Today we are sharing a fabulous follow up to the Subway Series:  Subway Series Basics.

I have a niece graduating in a few months from college.  So this was the perfect chance to make a sophisticated card with a little bit of fun in it. 

 

I loved just this portion of the stamp so I did a little "masking" and it worked great!  Don't forget to try this as it really can make your stamps go further and in a whole different direction!

 

Now, you need to head to the Fresh Squeezed Stamps blog for more inspiration from the other DT girls using Subway Series: Basics. There on the blog you will see the full stamp set AND make sure to enter for your chance at the giveaway of this set!
