Wow! I can't believe how long its been since I posted on my blog under The Stamp Nation tab. I love this site (have I mentioned that 100 times already in my e-news?)!! This month's Pen Pal swap theme is black & white with 1 or 2 color pops. Since I just received the Stamp of Approval box, I couldn't resist working with some of the new items.
I wanted to create a background in black and white and simply stamped images all over. Inside the SOA box was a new inkpad called All That Jazz and it's gorgeous! All the color you see on my card is done with either blending the ink onto white card stock to create card base or taking a Tombow blender pen and dipping it into the inkpad and coloring in the little hearts!

This card started one way and ended up totally another way! Wish I had taken photos. Once I stamped the background, I actually diecut the sentiment out of All That Jazz that I colored onto white cardstock, but it just didn't pop! Next I diecut the same word out of fun foam and mounted it right over the original die. That didn't pop either. FINALLY, I glittered the word in black glitter and that did the trick. To break up all the background, I added the diecut frame.
