I am so taken with the serenity of this set so I wanted to try some tone-on-tone stamping with the gorgeous lion. It blended a little bit more than I wanted so I popped it out a bit by sketching over the embossed image with a white prismacolor pencil then wiping with a dry cloth. It put a little haze over the image and the ribbed paper really caught the white to show off texture. I know someone will ask, so I’ll go ahead and share my serendipity moment — I used jumbo brads on each corner of the card because I wanted it to have a classy look. Imagine my delight when I popped in a single gold brad for a different looking element - I likey. Of course I had to top everything off with a bow!!
