Spring Fling

Photo Details

Poster: k dunbrook

hi there,
Here is a card I made using the new background stamp from Penny Black. I wanted to show how to use this stamp for more then just a background. First, I stamped the main panel with Pear Tart Memento ink. After cleaning my stamp, I applied Versamark and white embossing powder and heated with my heat tool. I punched a circle out from the white embossed piece, then using the green ink again and a water pen, I coloured the leaves in to give a reverse of the flowers on the background. The fresh feel of the green really makes me want for Spring!
Hope you like it and thanks so much for looking.

Such a clever way to get another use for a background stamp. Your bright green definitely says Spring ... so fun and cheerful too!
