It's Tuesday which means it's time to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week my teammates and I are showcasing Katkin Krafts' wonderful stamps. I am still basking in the love from my nephew's wedding this past weekend, so I decided to use Katkin Krafts' Wild Hearts Clear Photopolymer Stamp Set to create my card.

Here's the card made with the Wild Hearts Clear Photopolymer Stamp Set by Katkin Krafts and the Brick Textures 6x6 Patterned Paper Pad by Craft Consortium.
