If you've had a chance to look through the 2012 Sale-a-Bration Brochure, you've probably seen the gorgeous Fresh Vintage sample on page 6. Gorgeous as it is, my first thought was "all that coloring - oh my". I love the image, but was not thrilled about the time involved to color it with markers.
So...monochromatic card to the rescue! I grabbed my In Color Pool Party Classic Ink and started stamping. Here's what I came up with...
Dawn's Stamping Tip:
I stamped the image 3 times along the edge. I started by stamping the center image upside down. Then stamped the left and right images upside right to create a border.
For my next card, I wanted to "step-it-up" a little. I added a little texture with the Square Lattice Texture Impressions Embossing Folder and a couple of Rhinestone Jewels for a little bling. Take a look...

Both cards are very pretty, but that first one is especially striking.
