I needed a little Stamping Bella on my desk…and Tiny Townie loves Balloons is one of my favorites. I would love to be carried away like she is!

I haven’t used my Zigs in a while, and figured I’d get them out again…and try out letterpress paper with them. They did work nicely, hooray! The card is nice and simple – I love when the coloring comes out well and embellishing isn’t needed.

Oh and a tip for getting her stamped to look right? Make sure the strings are vertical. Let her hang crooked. Honestly, it may seem counterintuitive but it works when her feet kick out to the side. 🙂

Zig marker labels

For those who want nice big viewable numbers on their zigs (I just can’t see that tiny print!), there’s a free PDF in my store you can print on labels. I ended up putting scotch tape on top of that to make them stick better. Not pretty but it works 🙂

Such a sweet card, Sandy. The Zigs do seem to blend extremely well on your paper.
