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
accessories: gingham ribbon, dimensionals
It's very lovely (your card). I just looked at SU's new mini and shouldn't have. Lots of goodies I want, now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I could see this
ReplyDeletedesign 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
ReplyDeleteI love this color combination - great card!
ReplyDeleteI really like this card. I love the way you did the ribbon in the corner.
ReplyDeleteI really like these colours together and the ribbon going across the corner is a wonderful element. I will have to try that.
ReplyDeleteI really like the green and black together. I like the sentiment stamped over the background. I need to use my background stamps more, too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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.
ReplyDeleteI play games and tell myself things, too.
ReplyDeleteWhatever 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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
ReplyDeletethis is lovely! You are so prolific. I can't imagine creating so many gorgeous items. keep rocking!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the black mat against the green it really pops! And the ribbon treatment is pretty! Cant wait to see tomorrows card!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
