Don't you just love the instant gratification of card-making?! This month is no exception as I had fun playing with the August stamp of the month called 'Something Splendid'. It's a great addition to any card-maker's repetoire... and will fill anyone's day with sunshine.

I used the Splendor My Reflections Level 2 paper pack along with a little clear embossing with just part of the detail in the main flower image to give the sunflower some touchable dimension. The trick to the two-tone is to use Close To My Heart's Sunflower ink for the big image and Goldrush ink for the detail color.

Very pretty! Clear embossing with the 'detail' stamp adds a very nice texture to the image.
