I hosted my annual New Catalog Open House over the 4th of July weekend (HUGE success!) and here's one of the Make & Takes my guests got to do.
I started with 3-3/4" square of First Edition Specialty dsp and stamped the flowers with Jet Black StazOn and the ornament-ish image with Pool Party ink in the top right corner. (I love the look of stamping images on wordy designer paper.) This panel is layered on Pool Party cs, where I stamped the sentiment with Basic Black and hid the seam with 3/8" Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon. Finally, it's all layered on a Basic Black card base.

How striking! I love the stamped image against the DP. Love the color combo too.

OMG Regina, so elegant and stunning. I love your pool party with black and your stamping onto the DP. Your stamped ornament like stamp in P Party is subtle, but very nice. Isn't ribbon great for hiding seams ?!? I am sure your girls loved this beautiful card. TFS

I'm with you, the black silhouette on top of the text b/g is AWESOME! What a great make and take card. Love the ribbon and wonderful color combo. Bet you made some sales off this one!
