Well this one was definately a challenge for me. I had to try multiple backgrounds and colors before I thought this worked. I used another piece of that Spray, Ink and Smash background paper that I made last week. I overstamped it the retired Script background. The main image is also a piece of floral background that I had sitting on my stamp table. I love to color this stamp in. I know that a nutty thing to do, but I find it relaxing. This is the first time that I have broken out my "Pretties" to add a lovely little flower and bling as a focal point. The pumpkin grosgrain ribbon started out too bright, so I sponged a bit of Really Rust ink on to it to tone it down. Thanks for looking. Let me know what you think.
