Impression-Obsession Stamps: Spring is in the Air Challenge

For this card I pulled out my stamps and got busy.  I used a few stamps to create my own patterned paper.  If you'd like to play along with this challenge or if you'd like to see the new stamp releases go to the IO blog here!  I also got to play with a new cart, Nate's ABC--too fun!  Hope you likey!
