This card's focal image is considered a 'background'. It's a collage called Pear of a Recipe, which I stamped in green ink. Then the sentiment was added in black and three black gems were added in the upper right corner. As usual, the edges were inked in ColorBox chalk ink in Chestnut Roan.
Oooh, and how about a bonus card today? This "Celebrate" card is published in the current issue of Take Ten from The Stampers' Sampler.
The boat & sentiment are an {itty bitty} stamp set! Remember on Tuesday when I said I love plaid? It's totally true.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards. I like the pear design, the green background makes it pop :D
ReplyDeleteI just love the green card and how you stamped that image so softly in the background. It totally allows the sentiment to be the focal point.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, I like the green inked stamp, it's the focal point but doesn't take away from the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards! Love the masculine one with the boat!
