Artistic Outpost~Home~Plus a secret!

This cool barn is one of the images from Artistic Outpost's set, Home. I love the detail, and wanted to use the whole image, which doesn't leave a lot of extra room on the card. To add a little punch, I embossed it directly on some of SU!'s old designer paper. The base is Bazzill, the ribbon American Crafts, and the clip is SU! Hodgepodge Hardware in Aged Copper. There are several layers and the three top layers are popped up off of the Chocolate Chip layer. Ready for my secret? I have a new AO plate sitting on my stamp desk-I haven't even cut into it yet. I can't show it to you just yet, but I'll try to come up with some good stuff to show you when we get the O.K. to reveal!! I hope you'll come back and check it out! Also, if you are interested in trying some AO stamps, four sets are on sale this month for 20% off!
