Challenge #6: Stamp A Border

Shellye here, bringing you 
CHALLENGE #6
on this World Cardmaking Day!
For this challenge we are going to
 stamp-a-border
.
.
BUT
.
.
 I want you to use a non-border stamp.
Basically, use any stamp (that’s not deemed a ‘border’ stamp)
 and create a border!

I made a border using the clouds stamp:
As you can see, I stamped two clouds in a grey ink and
the other in a black ink.  After hand-cutting each one, I attached the
two grey clouds directly to the card and the black cloud 
I attached with foam dots.
