I find the Art Impressions Girlfriends stamps so much fun to colour!
For this one, I decided to colour it, then cut the whole thing out. (Just for a change.) I tried several backgrounds, but didn’t like any of them. I finally decided on an embossing folder with large dots and an oval centre.
Sounds weird, I know, but I really like the end result. It seems to give a bit of interest to the background. Because I’d used the EF I ended up using, I then couldn’t stamp a greeting. Instead I embossed onto vellum. I really like the end result.
Here’s the (very simple) inside:

Thanks Marcelle. It’s funny, we tend to reach for the tried and true, but sometimes we just have to forget traditional!
Thanks Lindsay. That’s one thing I love about these stamps – they’re fun!
