I'm having a hard time getting a good, clean image with this stamp. The ink keeps beading up on it. I've tried everything (lightly sanding, etc.), but nothing seems to work.

Happy Heart - this card is beautiful! I love the ribbons, the way you cut the bg for the tag, and if you hadn't mentioned it, wouldn't have noticed anything about the image - except that it is a very striking card!
Love the colors you chose and the touch with the insertion of the tag. You know I had a problem with one of my stamps and I used alcohol based nail polish remover and wiped the surface with it. I know that alcohol is a no no but it was that or throw out the stamp. It worked. I think the rubber had a coating on it that would not come off.

Wow if this is a flop...you can send me your rejects anytime. This is beautiful as are all your cards. I like how you cut out the flowers.

I just used the Floral BG for the first time myself and had the same problem with it and I tried every type of ink I had (dye, craft and petal points chalk)! My demonstrator and best pal took it and sanded with the sanding block a few times and we kept trying it inbetween. Finally it got to the point it was much improved. I recently used for a wedding card-stamped with versamark and embossed in copper. It was gorgeous! Keep on trying with the sanding - lightly each time and clean inbetween. It's such a shame because it really is a goreous stamp. P.S. I loved - loved -loved your card! TFS!
