I was puzzled when I first saw your card because I have that stamp, and didn't see how you achieved that look--until I read about your courageous cutting. Mine is cling, so would be even easier to do--putting this one on my list. And, thanks for the tips about the types of paper. I just got a bunch of those Memento Luxe inks and am eager to try them this weekend.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628064051832366762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5065493967041792900.post-92065505029988335832014-02-27T01:39:27.699-05:002014-02-27T01:39:27.699-05:00Absolute beautiful card!

Use it on all kinds of things and use the normal Memento for images to color in, on my stampruler (stampamagic) and for the great colors. The rich pigment inks are great to use on pearlpaper, but you're right they need time to dry...
