The hardest thing about making a project with a Thomas Kinkade stamp is not the colouring, it's getting a decent photograph of the finished item!
There's a lot of detail here so applying ink with a brayer is a great way to get even application and make sure the stamped impression retains that detail.
Spanish Script is stamped diagonally on the card base for a little added texture.

This is beautiful. You'll remember that I once told you that I appreciate reading your posts in the other forums b/c you're both knowledgeable and helpful. Don't know why I didn't check out your gallery until just now, I stumbled on this card. My loss. Your card is lovely and I appreciate the tip about the inking a TK stamp - a tip I'll be sure to use. TFS.
