Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Hi Stampers, today I inked up the brand new stamp set coming soon in the annual catalog. The Hand-Penned stamp set is going to be a favorite of mine. I love the loose feel of the inked images that bring on a fun casual flair in the card design. Oh and the possibilities with the beautiful Hand-Penned DSP is gorgeous too.
