While I was choosing some colors for Ann to work with, we noticed that we hadn't used Bravo Burgundy in awhile. It's a great manly color. So we popped that out to stamp onto this Sahara Sand 4-1/4" square card.
Throw in some Early Espresso so that we can use some ribbon & long story short – we've got a card! It was our first time using the Stampin' Up! Notably Ornate stamp set (Wood-#117098 Clear-#120561). We also used the heart & words from the Got Treats stamp set (Wood-#119114 clear-#120627).
Here's a little trick that we learned from a pretty smart demonstrator (we just don't remember which one). It really has to do more with when you're stamping a color onto light paper, but it works for a different reason here.
We stamped Sahara Sand ink onto Sahara Sand paper. Then we took the brush side of a Sahara Sand marker & went around for shading. (But this picture was probably done with River Rock.) This technique, when a dark color is stamped on a light color, will hide any places that you didn't trim quite on the line.
But for this, we just wanted to accentuate the edge of the cardstock a little more.
