Let's PLAY with Some Odd Girl & ARC crafts

Good morning and WELCOME, crafty friends!  We’re so glad you’re here!  This is an event that’s been in the making for quite a while, and we are absolutely THRILLED to share a ton of inspiration now through Friday, with our Odd Girls’ projects featuring Some Odd Girl Stamps and ARC Crafts (http://www.arccrafts.com/blog/2014/07/30/arc-sog-summer-gifting/wood products!
Some Odd Girl’s clear and digi stamps work WONDERFULLY with ARC Crafts’ wood tapes and adhesive wood papers, and we have it on good authority that our cut files go through their materials LIKE BUTTAH using electronic and manual die-cutting machines.  Punches work great, and the wood takes inks and mists beautifully!  Over the next five days, we’re going to show you exactly what we’re talking about, and we sincerely hope you’re as inspired as we all are! 
We Odd Girls got to play with wood tapes and adhesive wood papers in Birch, Rustic Birch, Cherry and Rustic Cherry from our awesome partners.  AMAZING products, and we LOVED working with them!  Check out the Some Odd Girl blog all week to see what the Odd Girls made, and visit the ARC Crafts blog to see what their designer, Charlet, created using their products and a selection of Some Odd Girl clear and digi stamps and cut files! 
Here is my featured project today for the Some Odd Girl and ARC crafter unite week. When I saw all the wood products I had to use Earth Goodess in my project. 
Card details: green cardstock ( recollections), ripped the ARC wood paper, wood veneers, distress ink, bling
