The Natural Botanicals stamp set caught my eye when I first saw the January - April Catalog a few months ago. I like the clean bold images and that the stamp set was designed to be reversable. Love struck me again in the January Online Exclusive offering, Elements of Text, a good background stamp is always handy to add a level of texture to a card. While I was looking at card ideas, I wanted a subtle green and pulled several Designer Series Papers and decided on the watercolor image in the Otterly Amazing Paper. Again, to add texture to the card, the Designer Series Paper was embossed with the Fern Embossing Folder.
It will be easy for you to design your own card using your favorite color combination. Play with your colors today!
