#DOswts453 - Blog Hop Garden Poetry Better Place Card


 Greetings! 

Here's today's sketch:


And here's my card:


This card features the Paradise Garden stamp and die bundle and the Garden Poetry Designer Series Papers (DSP).  With all the color variation in the prints, it was easy to pull those same colors in for the floral cluster behind the sentiment.  To add separation from the background print I added a large  Spotlight On Nature circle die which appears to rise up from behind the ribbon.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

When working with dark colors such as Blackberry Bliss, stamping off is a great way to take away a bit of the color saturation so it doesn't appear black.  

For these flowers and leaves, I tapped the stamp lightly onto the grid paper to remove a bit of the ink before I stamped onto the white cardstock.  Some of the flowers were stamped off a little firmer, giving them more of a faded look.  This is an easy way to alter the level of color, especially when it's a fairly solid image like the flowers and leaves are in this stamp set.

======================================================================
