A simple sentiment (Happy Messages - Stampendous) was stamped in white pigment ink onto black card stock and then heat embossed in white. I adhered it to the bottom of the circle die and cut off any excess black card.

Since I have used two NBUS (never-before-used schtuff), I'm sending the above card to NBUS Challenge #60.
... and I'm sending this to Can You Handle the Pressure? Mar.9 Challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!
