Today I received the cards from our Sea to Sea Stampers monthly card swap – and oh my gosh, they are AWESOME!  Much too wonderful to fail to share them here, so here's the first one:

The funny thing about this card is that at first I didn't even recognize the stamped image as being a Stampin' Up!® stamp!  But it turns out it's on a page in the catalog I haven't studied all that often, because the general style of art isn't anything I would personally use.  But it's sure cute here, isn't it? 

Oh, the stamp set is called "Hit the Road", btw….. and Becca bleached out certain areas to give it some subtle contrast.  Very striking in its simplicity and bright red with black, white, and gray. 

More wonderful swap cards coming soon; stay tuned…..
