Warm Wishes

It's Tuesday which is my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps! This week my teammates and I are showcasing Jane's Doodles Stamps. I decided to work with the Snow Globe Clear Stamp Set, which has a snow globe stamp, a Santa stamp, a Fox stamp, a penguin stamp, a snowman stamp, a Christmas Tree stamp, gift stamps, and sentiment stamps.  I know that this is the perfect stamp set for the winter holidays, however, I decided to create an autumn eclipse card to show the set's versatility.

Here's the card!
