Hey crafty friends, Marine here, I’m so happy to back on the blog with this cute card that features the Pathway background stamp.

So I simply cut a Neenah solar white panel measuring 5 x 3 inches, and I stamped a part of the Pathway background on that panel. And like always I used my alcohol markers to color the entire panel.
