I think it's by Michelle Ward and I've had it a while but never used it. Using a heavy linen textured card base, first I printed a computer generated greeting then carefully lined up the stamp. It's coloured using pencils, just normal ones from WHSmith, nothing fancy, though in hindsight I wished I'd used watercolour pencils to help 'blend' the sky. Never mind, I quite like the effect of the pencils on the linen card. I've used silver and gold metallic gel pens to highlight.
I've entered this into the challenges at:
