Don't laugh, but this fun card arose from a desire to use background stamps more, in order to justify ordering the two I want from the Hero catty. Seriously. Tomorrow's card is another in that effort.
See the games I play with myself? So sad.
Anywho, the set is Kindred Spirits from SU and isn't really a background stamp, per se. The sentiment is from Hero Arts. I really like how this turned out, and hope you do, too!
Supplies
stamps: SU Kindred Spirits, Hero Arts
paper: gable green, basic black, white
ink: Memories soft green, Palette Noir

It's very lovely (your card). I just looked at SU's new mini and shouldn't have. Lots of goodies I want, now.
Beautiful card! I could see this
design working well with many single
and background stamps. Thanks for
the inspiration!!
i have the HA bg that looks like this and i've never inked it up, i'm intimidated by it
I love this color combination - great card!
I really like this card. I love the way you did the ribbon in the corner.
I really like these colours together and the ribbon going across the corner is a wonderful element. I will have to try that.
I really like the green and black together. I like the sentiment stamped over the background. I need to use my background stamps more, too!
Beautiful card -- love the background images with the black words. I have a stamp, paper, ink swap to do and I think I'll base it on your card.
I play games and tell myself things, too.
Whatever it took, the card turned out very well.
I love this stamp and its great to see it be used in a way to give it justice.
Thanks for the tip on trying the cubes. I agree that the creamy inks work better on clear stamps. Your backround color on this screen looks kind of taupe, a color I like. Lovely card! Thanks, Sharon D. NJ Brrrr
this is lovely! You are so prolific. I can't imagine creating so many gorgeous items. keep rocking!
LOVE the black mat against the green it really pops! And the ribbon treatment is pretty! Cant wait to see tomorrows card!
I certainly love the way it turned out! You are so good to use your stamps right away, and we can all benefit from however you justify your purchases. I need to get better about using my new stamps right away. I'm trying!
