My coworker gave me some amazing stationary that she could no longer use, so I had some fun doing stamped backgrounds with the panels. I purchased the Dots & Circles stamp set simply because I love making backgrounds. I did some layers with Fired Brick and Gathered Twigs Distress Inks. I sprayed the stamp heavily with water and even did second and third imprints to get fainter and fainter panels.
I added tissue tape and stamped Tim's Ornate Trims around the perimeter of the panel. The focal image comes from Tim's Motivation 3 stamp set. I stamped it onto some clean up inky paper and added white highlights with a uniball pen. A very simple, but perfectly mailable card that pops! I hope the recipient will be inspired.
