Hugs

Pat Huntoon of Technique Junkies just introduced two new background stamps that look terrific when used together . . .

After stamping the text in a medium brown, I overstamped with the flowers inked in  light, medium, and dark versions of warm, compatible colors.  The focal point is from an adorable envelope die whose main appeal is an overlay that emphasizes the edges of the envelope's panels.  The die's designer cleverly provided a slit below the top flap that makes it easy to insert some die cut flowers and greenery in the envelope. 

I love all the elements used on this card and will be using all of them a lot  in future!
