Have you tried . . .

. . . the Stampin' Up! textured cardstock?  If not you must!  I love how it adds depth to your cards with out having to create a "background".

This card is a great example of this happening.  With so much of the Rose Red cardstock showing it looked a little plain without the texturedness of it (isn't that a great word? - I just made it up. lol)

The image is stamped on Shimmery cardstock and colored with the Watercolor Wonder Crayons and then matted onto a piece of So Saffron.  I created the scalloped border on top using my corner rounder with out the guard on it.

The card base is Garden Green and the "for you" is from the Love & Happiness SAB Rub Ons.  I remember using them when I was little but forgot how fun and easy they are.  They have turned out to be my favorite Sale-a-bration freebie.  You'll be seeing them often in the next few weeks.

I hope this card inspires you!  Let me know if you've used the rub ons and how you like them!

Have a great day and keep stamping!

I too rememmber rub-ons from before. YUCK! They stunk! They were impossible to get the whole image on. SU Rub-Ons are FABULOUS!! I so love them!! I got 2 sets w/my recent SAB purchases and I think I'll have to get another set this weekend at yet ANOTHER SU party. Woohoo!
