I like being less afraid of trying something different as if you're not happy with the results, you only have to remake it. I took a page from your blog and created these <a href="http://istamppaperink.blogspot.com/2010/03/dsp-free-fix-its.html" rel="nofollow"> cards. </a> Thanks!Gisèlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866579243873710772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-17201950612042316712010-03-19T22:11:31.028-04:002010-03-19T22:11:31.028-04:00Hi Susan!

I actually glue it down on all sides, and often stamp a little something in one corner, say a small image from the front or some other coordinating image. <br /><br />Bahb, the colors are atlantic and khaki from VersaColor. The cardstocks are SU's brocade blue and river rock. I used versacolor rather than the SU inks because these stamps are clear and the thicker inks work better. Plus the colors match so well. <br /><br />Hope this helps!Susan Raihalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018860599601419989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-16959555209692782872010-03-19T13:47:17.345-04:002010-03-19T13:47:17.345-04:00Hi Susan, I have a question for you: What's y...Hi Susan, I have a question for you: What's your method for writing inside a card when the base of the card is dark? Every once in a while, I'll make a great layered card with a dark base, only to realize that when I go to write my personal message inside, I have to use a white pen (which typically doesn't work very well), or place a piece of white paper inside. Do you have any other ideas?Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823793059041064133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-91040641536426626342010-03-19T13:18:19.218-04:002010-03-19T13:18:19.218-04:00you even do multi-layers right!you even do multi-layers right!Juanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706817909132300124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-39585201871730774752010-03-19T12:03:52.536-04:002010-03-19T12:03:52.536-04:00Two gorgeous cards Susan - you're so right abo...Two gorgeous cards Susan - you're so right about the way the bird is facing, love that colour combo too!

Also, the placement of the sentiment helps anchor it on the card, too. Adding a ground under it would be distracting (I know because I tried a long time ago to use a shadow stamp under it with the sentiment where it is, and it just looked crowded). The bird, on the other hand, is smaller and needs something to stand on. I hope this makes sense!Susan Raihalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018860599601419989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-41705076800250255932010-03-19T08:16:01.204-04:002010-03-19T08:16:01.204-04:00Oh my, do I love today's cards!

The color combination is obviously beautiful, and the coloring of the tree really sets the whole thing off.
