I will have a different card posted throughout the week of the blog hop. I will use French Foliage all week. Come back to see the fun cards you can make with this versatile set.
One of the things I LOVE about this card, is the use of the stamp pad to create a background. I took Sahara Sand Classic Pad and gently centered it on the Whisper White cardstock. I only pressed on the edges because that is the only place I wanted a full contact outline. I used the straight edge on the top because I knew the slightly rounded edge would be less noticeable on the bottom.
I used:
Paper: Early Espresso CS #119686, Sahara Sand CS #121043, Whisper White CS #100730
Stamps: French Foliage #, Friendly Phrases #
Stamps: French Foliage #, Friendly Phrases #
Ink: Sahara Sand #105208, Cajun Craze #119678, Early Espresso #119680
Other: Paper Snips #103579, Dimensionals #104430, Seam Binding Ribbon #120999

Blog hop or no, I love this card. What a great idea to use the stamp pad it self for a distressed background impression. I have those stamps too. Love them and haven't used them enough. I'll have to pull them out and play with them. Thank you for the inspiration, as always.
This is a wonderful use of a stamp pad and it makes me want colder weather and warm soups! Perfect!
Love this set and your card.. Like the idea of using stamp pad as a background. Thank You
Love your color choices - BEAUTIFUL card! Thanks for sharing!

Gorgeous card, thanks for sharing the stamp pad idea. I will have to try it.
I love the effect of the ink pad directly on the paper. Seems like an obvious technique, yet it is not! I thought you used a clear block. Thanks for sharing this trick. Love the card!
Cute card idea.
Love the card. Thanks for the cool direct to paper technique for creating a background, Love it :)
Love the techniques you used on this card, block stamped, nice way to demonstrate versatility, thanks for sharing.
