Recently, I was searching for a birthday card and realized my card stash was really low. I decided to make some cards using my nesting doll rubber stamp set. The hero arts set came from Archiver's. I bought it a few years ago, but I think they still have it.
Rubber stamps aren't inexpensive, but you can use them a million times. I've made so many cards and tags with this set. The little dolls are lots of fun to color. (I still love coloring, I admit it!)
This paper is just plain gorgeous together. I just used a bunch of scraps from different projects. The fabric underneath is from crafty planet... I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for yet. When I make cards I almost always piece together the background from a few different papers.
I used copic markers to color in the images. They are amazing. Expensive, but worth it. Each nesting doll image was placed on navy cardstock. I adhered them with mounting tape and added a couple little flowers.

I'm so glad you talked about the markers, cuz I was gonna ask about that. I need to make an investment in those markers!They are such cute cards. And yes I have a set of nesting dolls, that my brother brought me back from Russia when he went there on a high school trip.
