I just happened to have that challenge last week. I bought a new stamp set and was ready to get started but just couldn't get it right. I turned to a Hero Arts die and this card looks much better:
The sentiment Thank You was cut from watercolor paper. I have first applied three distress stains to it: Evergreen Bough, Broken China and Peacock Feathers. For the background, I've stamped a large background stamp in green on a Indian Corn Blue cardstock. I am really happy with the result as I didn't know that blue-green combo can be so pretty!

ReplyDeletehey Joyce, I also do really like the bright background combo of the blue/green... I read from another post that you combined 4 distress ink for the fern leaves, looks great!
