Hey summer friends! Today I want to show off my first card using the 'free' stamp set from Creative Stamping Issue 57! The magazine cost me about $27 Cdn which I admit is steep, but I really, really, really wanted the huge stamp set that came with it! GO WILD is a safari-style stamp set that contains large wildlife stamps and plenty of accent stamps including one very gorgeous African savanna tree, the acacia! I can't wait to use that one! Plus there are themed greetings....it's all there! AND there is a mini-ink cube to boot! Yeah! Along with a magazine that features many examples featuring the included stamp set - so this more than justified the price for me. I shall be watching for future issues :) I had a hard time choosing which of the animal images to start with but I went with the sweet llama . I started by using Distress inks to create my card base and then stamped it with a leaf stamp in the mini ink cube ....
