Day #3 of sneaks~ Vintage Wallpaper

Well Good Friday to you first off!  Secondly, today is the last day of sneak peeks from Flourishes & today I'm showing a new background stamp called Vintage Wallpaper.  If it looks familiar its because it has some of the same elements that the Thinking of You stamp set has.  It could be a companion set or a stand alone stamp, like I did in this card.  When I was looking for ways to showcase this stamp, I stumbled upon this weeks sketch from 2sketches4you, its kind of "scrappy" which worked awesome.  
When working with clear stamps, especially a large background stamp like this, I don't like to use a water based ink pad, I prefer to use something like Palette or Memento, for this I used a Brilliance Dew Drop inker, which is a pigment ink, but you get nice even coverage.  I prefer to use pigment ink when stamping with any background stamp, the ink dries slower so I don't need to race to stamp my image.
The butterfly and green scalloped border are Basic Grey Porcelain stickers.  The sentiment is from the Sweet Violets set, I showed on Wednesday.  The sentiment was stamped in black ink onto a double ended tag (spellbinders) which was cut and embossed using my Cuttlebug.  The kraft border was created using a Martha Stewart punch.  To tie everything together (no pun intended) I tied a bow on the upper left side of the card.  For your chance to win this background stamp, click your way over to the Flourishes Newsletter & leave a comment on the Day #3 post for your entry to win.
