The beauty of using a background stamp like the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Forest stamp is that you can go with a traditional color like Mossy Meadow (today’s winter holiday card) or any color you choose. How about crisp Night of Navy and Basic White or heat emboss in silver or gold?
WHAT I LOVE ! The sentiment from Winter Owls stamp set nests perfectly in the die cut from Something Fancy Dies (one of My Favorite Things). A Very Vanilla Classic Matte dot and touch of Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine are the perfect extras. Let the background do most of the talking!
