I used a pattern from the Make It From Your Heart Volume 1 book to create my card. I wanted something simple that would not detract from the beautiful frame. I stamped it in black ink and used the ShinHan colors to make it coordinate with the Zip Strip (the chevron piece of paper) that came from the Brushed paper packet. The Gold Shimmer Trim just added a little sparkle as did the Clear Sparkles.
I random-stamped the background with an exclusive stamp set called Budding Springtime (shown below). You can only get one of these exclusives from a Consultant. (Contact me to find out how you can get one of your own as they are only available through March 31st.)
This is the exclusive stamp set used for the background, stamped tone on tone to the Pixie cardstock with Pixie ink.
