I will go into mourning when they discontinue this background stamp. It's the most awesome background tone on tone, but I have made several stand alone cards with it....and I love it!! This is Black Magic, stamped in white craft ink, dried with heat tool on black cs, and then colored with pure colored pencils. Then I added the gel pen and crystal effect accents.

In response to the above comment and because others on other cards have asked me if there is a tutorial, I have NO clue. :( I am computer challenged and I don't DO LINKS. :( All I knew is that one of my best stamping buddies, CL, told me about Black Magic and all I remembered is you use white craft ink and colored pencils, and I just took them out and started playing - the white gel pen I just used cuz I can't help myself with that thing......just PLAY!! Who needs a tutorial??? Just stamp, heat, and color!! Have fun!!;)

Wow! What a lot of coloring! But it was worth it -it is sooo pretty! Thanks for the 'tutorial'! It sounds like it's not too difficult, just time consuming.
