I used the Whimsy Fundamentals papers for both top and bottom sections of this card.
With the soft pastel background, I loved using black for the stamping and border behind the white shimmer trim. Personally, I think it's pretty stunning. :-)
Tone-on-tone stamping is a great way to use an outline stamp image. It's subtle, and does not compete with the important sentiment at the top, yet it adds just the right touch.
Our "Fundamentals" papers are a much under-used TREASURE! These papers provide background designs that work with any stamped images. Available in Whimsy (pastels), Adventure (bolds), Enchantment (jewels) and Basics (neutrals) . . . These products are an absolute go-to for your creative needs. Find them here.
