Hello! I am always amazed at how well the Sanded background stamp goes with a soft, flowery-type card. When I first saw that background, I thought immediately of masculine or western cards. I have since discovered that it is wonderful for use with any kind of card, masculine or feminine. It has become one of my favorite background stamps and I use it all the time. For this card, I used the Poppin' Pastels technique, using versamark and our pastels for the flower. I also used the FABulous new polytwill ribbon from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I love that ribbon - it's so soft! Enjoy. The inspiration for this card came from this card by "Gem" on Splitcoast.
Hi Donna,
