I used it *a lot* on this card!! ...First, to make the repeating flourish background (which was partially embossed with the Swiss Dot embossing folder on the Cuttlebug (thanks Melinda!)), and then to change the shape/layout of the sentiment. Originally, it looks like this:
So I had to stamp the whole image on the plastic imaging sheet, stamp the "whatever", clean the stamp, stamp "you are", clean the stamp, stamp "be a"...etc., etc... It took a while, but it fit on the square I wanted! *wink* The square and the scalloped square are both popped up on dimensionals.I love this color combo together...Soft Sky, Sage Shadow, and Chocolate Chip. And even better, Martha Stewart Crafts' "Cloud" twill matches perfectly! *smiles*
To give the inside a little something, I scalloped the bottom of a Very Vanilla panel (using my corner rounder...can't wait for SU!'s scallop-edge punch!), then paper-pierced in the center of each scallop, and a line just above that. (You can see a bit of it peeking out in the top photo)
Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great weekend!

WOW! What a pretty card. And yeah, that's some serious Stamp-a-ma-jig'n (does that mean you were gettin' jiggy with it? LOL!). It totally was worth it though. The outcome is fabulous!
Hey! Now I have to comment on two cards... Slow down! I love this one... I love the colour combo, I love how you changed the sentiment to fit it, I love... all of it!
