It works! I agree that the only thing it really needs is craft ink and I'd have to try that and compare which I liked better. What I really like about this card is that it is eye catching, fast, cheap!! TFS

I love the simplicity of this card... I think I will Case it too.. I think too an alturnative to it would be to cut a window out and have it stamped on the inside of the card. The embossing idea given here is a good idea too... but not too dark cause the "softness" of the color brings the peaceful feeling to life. TFS!!!

It's perfect.
If I were a Nonstamper, and saw this card at a demo, I would be putting in the order right away and would be hooked. It is something that is elegant yet simple enough and nonintimindating like some of the beautiful cards in the gallery.
(I am a stamper, and I am ordering this set !)

Bam! How cool is this?! I was hosting a stamping get together today and my sister comes in and starts casing this card of yours. It's perfect as is. She tried adding a border and it was nice, but it lost the magic effect of letting the stamp melt into the background so she reverted to the way you have it here. She stamped it on a 3.5 x 5 card which was kinda cool because it was smaller. Nicely done!

This is beautiful, and I wouldn't change a thing. We at SCS are so used to seeing layers, but they are not always necessary. I think this set works best when it's used simply. Nice work!
