One of my favorite things to do with stamping is just use one color for the card, but lots of different textures. I love this card - it has so much dimension and is very elegant. We did this card at class a few weeks ago- and I thought it would make a great anniversary or wedding card. When making a white card - I think it adds a lot of dimension to use a dauber and sponge a little color on the edges. For this card we used crumb cake. Have I also mentioned how much I love that Big Shot Flower die?! I love everything I have made with that die.

Both cards are beautiful! I so agree on the monochromatic cards - I did almost the same card for my DSIL last month and she loved it (happily she keeps and sometimes frames what I send to them!).... TFS all that you do!!!
