S.W.A.K. Action Wobble

It finally rained in California!!  I guess fall is officially here.  Although it was short lived and we are once again wearing shorts and shirt sleeve shirts, it does finally feel as if we are truly heading towards the holiday season.  So we are in the craft room creating cards for family and friends and working on our DT projects :)

Today I want to share this sweet card with you as I post as a member of the Action Wobble Design Team!  The Action Wobble is located under the sentiment S.W. A. K.

"I miss you so much!  S.W.A.K."

This adorable digi stamp was made into a postage stamp.  Using Photoshop, the digi stamp was colored to look vintage.  A bit of gold color was added throughout the stamp to make it look aged.  

An Action Wobble was added to the card (under the S.W.A.K.) to add fun and interest to the card.

If you don't have any Action Wobbles to enhance your projects, you can pick some up at the Royal Castle Shoppe .  You will be so happy your did!  If you've used Action Wobbles before we'd love it if you would become a follower of our Action Wobble blog and "Like" us on Facebook so you can share your wobble projects with us.

Thanks for stopping by!
