Great use of the frame on the second card which would normally be waste. I discounted this stamp set and you’ve made me think to have another look at it.

Cathy I am really going to have to go back and have another look at this kit. I had completed discounted it but you are correct, it makes perfect more masculine cards. I particularly love the way you have framed the stamped image with the negative from the diecuts. Brilliant idea and brilliant cards.

Pebble Path goes so well with Basic Beige and your cards are amazing! I haven’t seen this kit been used before and it’s certainly great for masculine cards.

In reply to Andrea Sargent. These are great alternative cards Cathy! I love how pebbled pathetic combines with basic beige. Very clever using the frame.

I love your cards Cathy and especially how you have used the Basic Beige off cut to create your second card. That city skyline and the dotted grid stamp are awesome. Great masculine cards.

Wow, what brilliant cards. Pebbled Path looks amazing with Basic Beige and I love how you used the negative to frame your stamped image on the 2nd card. The 1st card is a wonderful classic cityscape design with the strip of card grounding the images.

I love seeing alternative ways to use stamp kits, and the simplicity of your ideas is stunning Cathy. I like the combo you used for the monochromatic colour scheme too.

Wow Cathy how good does Basic Beige look with Pebbled Path. As you say, the stamp set does invoke memories of NYC. I really like the dotted grid stamp to emulate the clouds. Very effective.

Great use of the kit components, Cath. Your stamped cards really do evoke thoughts of NYC. How good does Pebbled Path look with Basic Beige?! Nice job!

Oh wow oh wow Cathy. I love your cards. Your treatment of Basic Beige with Pebbled Path is amazing. I love your stamping of the skyline with the clouds following the line of the buildings. The off cut strip of Pebbled Path at the base of the buildings beautifully delineates from the clean space underneath – gorgeous. I adore the second card with the buildings recessed – love it. I was interested in this kit – but it was down the list. It has moved right up the top now. xxx

Fantastic cards with the stamp and Pebbled Path. Very clever idea to use the off-cut to frame the stamped image. I was not overly interested in this kit when I first saw it but I might need to take another look
