Cardmaking is all about cutting up paper and gluing it back together! The card below using the Taco Fiesta stamp set is a perfect example. Cut up different colors of cardstock, add a little stamping, glue them together and a card is born! This one is perfect for a new friend who is celebrating her birthday on Cinco de Mayo!

For the bottom three rectangles I used a tone-on-tone stamping technique which means you stamp with an ink that is the same shade as the cardstock you are stamping on. On the top rectangle I used Tuxedo Black Memento ink because I wanted more of a contrast. The bottom blue rectangle is one of our new colors – Azure Afternoon. It reminds me of deep blue seas and pool parties. It will be perfect for summer cards.
