Here's another card I made using the Love Bandit set. I love the clear mount stamp sets now offered by Stampin' UP. This was the first set I ordered to see if I would like it compared to wood mount. With a cost of $13.95 and the fact that it stamps just like the wood mount, it is sooooo way worth it!
